In this tiki-inspired cocktail, a full ounce of bitters plays the starring role.

Note: Passionfruit syrup can be store-bought or made at home. To make homemade syrup, combine 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a medium sauce pan over high heat with 1/2 cup fresh passionfruit pulp, seeds, and juice. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Add the juice and seeds from 2 fresh passionfruit to the mix, cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain and bottle. Syrup will keep in the fridge for one week.
