Step 1

Make the passion fruit Mexican mule: In a medium bowl, combine the lime rinds and sugar and stir until the rinds are well coated. Cover and let sit, stirring every 45 minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved and there is ½ cup of syrup in the bottom of the bowl, about 4 hours. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the lime rinds.
