Description
This tropical Puka Punch, made with Maggie’s Farm rums, passion fruit, and spices, is a bold, breezy cocktail perfect for batching at your end-of-summer party.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Maggie’s Farm 50/50 Dark Rum
- 1 1/2 oz Maggie’s Farm Spiced Rum
- 1/2 oz Maggie’s Farm Falernum
- 1/2 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 oz passion fruit syrup
- 1/2 oz brown sugar syrup
Instructions
For the passion fruit syrup:
Passion Fruit nectar comes in varying levels of sweetness. Ingredients can be swapped out in this recipe depending on if you are using a premade Passion Fruit syrup, adding sugar to pulp or diluting nectar. We use the latter. Just be sure to add a smaller amount first and taste test as you go. Goya makes the most readily available version of this which comes in a 12 oz frozen can. To make the syrup noted in the recipe:
- Thaw a 12 oz can of Goya Passion Fruit nectar blend with 12 oz of water.
- Syrup can be refrozen for later use.
For the brown sugar syrup:
- Heat 8 oz of filtered water to a boil.
- Reduce heat and slowly dissolve 8 oz of dark brown sugar into water while consistently stirring.
- Drop heat to a simmer and allow to simmer for 10-15 min.
- Syrup will keep in the fridge for up to a month.
For the cocktail:
- Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin and pack full of ice
- Shake until the outside of the tin has frost accumulation.
- Serve in fun glassware with the ice from your shaker tin.

Notes
This recipe is easy to batch for a party and packs a sneaky punch (no pun intended) so it can take a good amount of dilution if you are doing a punch bowl situation.
