The homely passion fruit, grown in the tropics, is about the size of a golf ball, with wrinkly purple-black skin. Inside, however, the orange flesh has a bright, sweet, amazing flavor that adds life to many kinds of beverages.
Purchase mangoes that yield gently to the touch, but are not too soft.
Passion fruit is a small egg-shaped fruit with a dry, crinkly purple exterior and yellow-gold interior filled with edible black seeds. The fruit has a tropical perfume and a sweet-tart flavor.
Rum is distilled from fermented sugar cane juice or molasses. It’s a popular spirit in the Caribbean, where most rum is made.
