Joe’s Passionfruit Ricky

Makes 1 standard drink

Ingredients:

handful mint leaves

2 passionfruit, or 60ml of pulp

50ml Cuban dark 5-year rum, or similar

30ml ginger syrup

½  lime

crushed ice

soda water

Ginger Syrup

100g fresh ginger, grated

1 cup palm sugar, smashed

1 cup water

Method:

To make the ginger syrup, bang all the ingredients into a saucepan and place on medium heat. Stir occasionally and heat gently until sugars dissolve. Let sit for 30 minutes or so to steep, then strain off the solids and leave to cool. Refrigerate until required.

In a tall glass, add mint leaves, then bruise to release the aroma. Cut passionfruit and scoop in the pulp, add the rum, ginger syrup and a squeeze of lime. Stir briskly to combine ingredients, then fill glass with ice and top up with soda. Make it by the glass or jug.
