Tips
Seek out real passion fruit puree or juice; the artificial syrups used on Bourbon Street produce a much worse drink This cocktail is strong with 4 oz of rum, so sip slowly and be mindful of its potency For a more balanced version, reduce the simple syrup to 0.5 oz and let the fruit juices provide the sweetness
