It’s the bank holiday weekend here in rainy old Blighty, and if there’s one thing us Brits love it’s a jolly good knees up on an extra day off work. What better way to celebrate than to whip up a nice fruity cocktail, even if it is grey and drizzly outside. This mint and passion fruit rum punch ticks all the right boxes.
This is such a delicious cocktail and looks hella pro, the best thing is you can make it well in advance leaving you plenty of time to lap up all the compliments from your guests. I’ve included the measurements for two cocktails bellow but feel free to double or even triple the recipe to keep you sauced up all weekend long.
