Passion fruit nectar, which is less sweet than passion fruit juice, is a nice complement to the clean, smooth addition of vodka. Champagne (or prosecco, if you prefer) gives this drink a nice pucker that isn't overly sweet and syrupy.

Raspberries give this passion fruit cocktail a pretty pink hue—and rum, triple sec, and Champagne give it extra punch. The raspberry and passion fruit flavors blend so well together that you may not even need the simple syrup. GET THE RECIPE 04 of 05 Passion Fruit Hurricane Courtesy of Bacardí This fruity fun tropical cocktail features passion fruit syrup, orange, and lime—along with two different kinds of rum. Hurricanes are typically very sweet drinks, but the addition of citrus helps to quell the sugar index. And rum goes well with any kind of fruit, so this cocktail is a win-win. If you prefer a frozen drink, add ice and some extra passion fruit flesh. If you're picking passion fruit to add to your cocktail, opt for one with wrinkly purple or yellow skin, which indicates that it's ripe and ready to be eaten.
