History
Passion Fruit Rum Punch is a modern tropical variation on the traditional Rum Punch, adding fresh passion fruit, passion fruit syrup and a splash of sparkling wine; the passion fruit gives it its fruit-forward character and its name. Rum Punch took shape in the 17th-century Caribbean from a five-part drink of spirit, citrus, sugar, water, and spice that British and Dutch traders had encountered in India.
