Equipment
Method
- Chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink.
- Add the white rum, passion fruit purée, lime juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Fill it two-thirds full with ice.
- Seal the shaker and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty. Shaking chills the drink and gives it a light, silky froth.
- Empty the ice water from the glass. Double strain the daiquiri through the Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer into the chilled glass, so it is smooth and free of ice shards and seeds.
- Garnish with the lime wheel and spoon a little fresh passion fruit pulp on top, if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
Passion fruit purée: Look for it in the freezer or juice aisle of larger grocery stores or online. For fresh pulp, scoop out 2 to 3 passion fruits and press through a fine strainer to remove the seeds.
Balance: Taste and adjust. Add a little more simple syrup if your passion fruit is very tart, or a splash more lime if it is too sweet.
Rum choice: A clean, light white rum lets the passion fruit shine. A lightly aged rum adds a warmer, rounder flavor.
Simple syrup: Stir equal parts sugar and hot water until dissolved, then cool. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Frozen version: Blend all the ingredients with 1 1/2 cups (225 g) of ice until smooth and slushy, then pour into a chilled glass.
Making a pitcher: For 6 drinks, stir together 12 ounces (360 ml) of white rum, 6 ounces (180 ml) of passion fruit purée, 4 1/2 ounces (135 ml) of lime juice, and 4 1/2 ounces (135 ml) of simple syrup. Chill, then shake individual portions with ice or pour over ice-filled glasses.
Alcohol-free version: Replace the rum with 2 ounces (60 ml) of chilled black tea or sparkling water, and keep the remaining ingredients the same.
