Combine, over ice,  2 ounces passion fruit juice, one ounce pear liqueur, and one tablespoon mint simple syrup. Shake and strain.  Add a fresh fruit garnish.

I chose red strawberries and a red tray because red is the color of Palm (or Passion) Sunday.

Also note the dogwood blossom from my backyard— people say the shape and red tinges at the bottom of the pedals are evocative of the Cross.

This year, especially, aren’t we all carrying a heavy cross?  If a cocktail can soothe your mood, at least temporarily, then it’s a good thing.
