Light Rum or Dark Rum with OJ & Passion Fruit: Which is Better?

Okay, so the other day I was feeling a little fancy and wanted to make a cocktail. I had some light rum, dark rum, orange juice, and passion fruit. I figured, why not combine them all and see what happens? So, I started experimenting.

Mixing Things Up

First, I grabbed a shaker. No idea if it’s the “right” way, but it’s what I always do. I filled it with some ice cubes. I like my drinks cold, you know?

Then, I poured in some light rum. I didn’t measure anything – just eyeballed it. Maybe about a shot or two? I’m not a professional bartender, obviously.

Next, I added a splash of dark rum. Just a little, because I didn’t want it to overpower the other flavors. Again, no measuring, just a quick pour.

After the rum, I added the orange juice. I used maybe, like, half a cup? More than the rum, for sure. I love OJ!

The Passion Fruit Situation

Now, for the passion fruit, this is the fun part!.

I added the passion fruit pulp.

I mixed a little bit water,not much.

Shake, Shake, Shake!

I put the lid on the shaker and shook it like crazy. I wanted everything to be well mixed and super cold.

Finally, I poured the mixture into a * was looking good!

The Taste Test

I took a sip, and… it was pretty good! A little sweet, a little tart, and definitely tropical. It wasn’t perfect, though. It needed something. I think next time, I’ll try adding a squeeze of lime. Maybe some simple syrup too, if I want it sweeter.
