At Jimmy’s Bar & Lounge, we like to do things a little differently. Jimmy himself is a cheeky fellow, and the drinks we serve are a reflection of his fun-loving, playful character. We’re particularly proud of our cocktails. They’re fun and unique, a little naughty at times, but always with the best intentions at heart.

When hosting your own Christmas event, you should celebrate with cocktail recipes that reflect the mood of the season. To help you recreate the fun and relaxing vibe that you’ll find at Jimmy’s Bar & Lounge, we want to share one of our own impressive creations. It’s the ultimate Port Macquarie summer cocktail – the ‘Passion Flower’. It’s the colour of summer, with seasonal passionfruit and light spirits, the ultimate way to relax after a long day enjoying the warm weather and blue skies.

Serving the ‘Passion Flower’ to your family and friends will impress them for sure. And if there’s one thing we like to do around here, it’s making life a little bit easier for our members and guests.

How do I make a ‘Passion Flower’?

It’s pretty simple really, but most great cocktail recipes are! With the right ingredients at hand, you’ll be able to whip these up for your guests and yourself in no time at all. Given the heat in the air and how good these drinks look and taste, it’s a good thing they’re easy to make. Passionfruit drink recipes are all the rage at this time of year, and people won’t want to stand around and wait when there’s something this good to drink.

Ingredients

  • 60ml of vodka
  • 30ml elderflower liqueur
  • 30ml sour mix
  • 2 tbs passionfruit
  • Soda water
  • Mint
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Fill a hurricane cocktail glass to the top with ice
  2. Add vodka, elderflower liqueur, sour mix and passionfruit
  3. Fill with soda water
  4. Mix with a tall spoon
  5. Garnish with some mint

That’s it, like we said, pretty simple. No need for a Tom Cruise/Bryan Brown double act to put this drink together. It literally is the perfect summer drink; it tastes delicious and can be made in seconds. This is important when you’d rather be spending time with family and friends, than slicing fruit and rattling a cocktail shaker for hours on end.

Try a ‘Passion Flower’ at The Westport Club

It’s always a good idea to test-drive a cocktail before making it yourself (at least that’s what we tell ourselves anyway). So swing by The Westport Club this summer and let our expert bar staff create one just for you. Whether you’re one of our charming locals, or driving through on a summer road trip, make sure you come and say hello. Grab a cocktail, sit down and enjoy the stunning view over the Hastings River from Jimmy’s Bar & Lounge. Relax and let the world slowly drift by in this idyllic setting.

Sounds pretty good to us. See you soon…
