I’m a little addicted to my passion fruit jam and I love the sharpness of the flavours when cut with alcohol, so I came up with this little new number. I named it after Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner who spent time at the Hotel Nacional in Havana at the height of the glamorous 50’s (and were the topic of a notorious affair at the time):

– 25ml rum (I like 5 year old Ron Varadero)

– 15ml cashaca (Sagatiba or other)

– 15ml Cointreau

– juice of ½ lime

– 2 tsp. passion fruit jam

Shake all the above over ice in a cocktail shaker quite vigorously, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass (I prefer to let most of the seeds slip through and settle at the bottom of the glass) and garnish with a half passion fruit.
