How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose good passion fruit
- Choose passion fruits with a uniformly dark purple skin, slightly wrinkled, large size, and dry stem.
- If the fruit feels heavy, has smooth skin, and is still green, it means that the passion fruit is immature, has thick skin, and little flesh.
How to choose good peaches
- The size of a good peach is only as small as a teacup, round and has a diameter of 3 – 5cm.
- When picked up, it should feel firm; pressing lightly on the fruit should not cause it to be soft.
- When tasting, a good raw peach will be crispy, juicy, and have a light sweet and sour taste. For ripe peaches, the flesh will be yellow, soft, and have a stronger sweet and sour flavor.
How to choose good blueberries
- Prefer to choose berries that are blue or dark purple, firm, and have a thin powdery coating on the outside.
- Do not buy berries that are leaking water or cracked.
How to choose good strawberries
- Choose large strawberries, bright red, plump, and still have their stems and fresh green leaves.
- Do not choose overripe strawberries because the flesh inside may be dry and hollow.
- Avoid selecting discolored, misshapen, and spoiled strawberries. Additionally, fruits with green skin and many spots should not be purchased as strawberries will not ripen naturally after being picked.

In a large bowl, add the lime wedges, 10g of mint leaves, 70g of sugar, 300ml of soda, and 90ml of rum, then use a spoon to mash it up to extract more essence from the lime and mint.
Then, strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the pulp.
