A tropical drink with layered complexity, this cocktail balances the tart intensity of passionfruit against the delicate, honeyed floral notes of elderflower. Spiced rum provides a warm backbone of vanilla and baking spices, while lime juice keeps everything bright and prevents the sweetness from cloying. A couple dashes of bitters add subtle depth, and the mint garnish lifts each sip with an herbal freshness.
