" Passion fruit rum," says Vergara, "gives a sweet and tart flavor that is balanced nicely with the cranberry juice and fresh squeezed orange juice." The resulting beverage is one that she describes as being a "summery, fruity drink that's not too sweet." She also tells us that the ingredients supplied here make two or even three cocktails, which means that the drink is actually pretty moderate as far as ABV goes. This ensures that the beverage is light, refreshing, and perfect for warmer weather.

The boozy components of this cocktail consist of passion fruit rum and peach schnapps, while the non-alcoholic mixers include orange juice and cranberry juice. Vergara likes to squeeze her own OJ and notes that she needs to use 2 navel oranges in order to have a sufficient amount for these drinks.
As a garnish, you'll slice up an orange to complete each glass with a pretty ring of the citrus fruit.
Select your glasses and fill them with ice. You can use a tall glass if you would like to sip your drink from a straw, or a rocks glass if you plan on imbibing poolside and want something that's unlikely to tip over. Vergara, however, has a different preference: "I think that stemmed glasses just give off a more elegant feel," she says, adding that pretty much any glass will do the trick.
