Preparations

Passion Fruit Syrup5 minutessee method

Place 1 ½ cups passion fruit puree and 1 ½ cups Demerara Syrup in a mason jar, seal it, and shake until combined. Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Demerara Syrup20 minutessee method

Place 1 cup water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Add ½ cup demerara sugar and 1 ½ cups sugar and stir until they have dissolved. Remove the pan from heat and let the syrup cool completely before using or storing.

Method

  1. Add everything to a shaker with ice. The original's syrups are Liber & Co. Tropical Passionfruit and Liber & Co. Demerara Gum. Without a gum syrup, a plain demerara syrup is the closest thing to make at home, a little thinner in body. Its eight-year rum is Kill Devil Blackbeard's Reserve from Outer Banks Distilling.
  2. Shake until chilled.
  3. Double strain into a small chalice, a coupe or a Nick & Nora glass.
  4. Serve without ice.
