Tips

Use a highball glass, muddler, bar spoon and measuring jigger. Alcohol-free version: omit rum and use 140–160 ml soda. For more sweetness add 5 ml yuzu; for less, reduce passion fruit to 20 ml. Express a little fresh yuzu or lime peel over the glass for aroma. For four glasses: 60 ml yuzu, 100 ml passion fruit, 80 ml lime juice, 180 ml rum and 400 ml soda.
