A quick and easy tropical cocktail blending dark and light rum with passion fruit, orange, and pineapple juices, balanced with grenadine and lime for a sweet, tangy, and refreshing drink perfect for summer and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces dark rum (e.g., Bacardi or Myers’s)
  • 1 ounce light rum (e.g., Don Q)
  • 3 ounces passion fruit juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 3 ounces orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
  • 3 ounces pineapple juice (canned is fine)
  • 1 ounce grenadine syrup
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ½ ounce simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Garnishes: orange slices, maraschino cherries, or fresh pineapple wedges

Instructions

  1. Fill a hurricane or highball glass with ice cubes to chill while mixing the drink.
  2. Freshly squeeze 1 ounce each of lime and orange juice, removing seeds and pulp.
  3. Pour into a cocktail shaker: 2 ounces dark rum, 1 ounce light rum, 3 ounces passion fruit juice, 3 ounces pineapple juice, 3 ounces orange juice, 1 ounce grenadine, and the freshly squeezed lime juice.
  4. Add ½ ounce simple syrup if a sweeter drink is desired.
  5. Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
  6. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is cold and frosty.
  7. Discard ice from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail into it filled with fresh ice cubes.
  8. Garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry or pineapple wedge on the rim.

Notes

Use freshly squeezed citrus juices for best flavor. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup and grenadine to taste. Shake until the shaker is frosty to ensure proper chilling and dilution. For a non-alcoholic version, omit rums and add sparkling water or ginger ale. Pre-chill glasses for colder drinks. Store juice mix (without rum) refrigerated up to 24 hours; add rum and ice just before serving.
