Ingredients
- 2 oz silver or blanco tequila
- 1 oz passionfruit juice fresh is best, but bottled works fine
- 1 oz raspberry syrup homemade or store-bought
- ¾ oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- ½ oz simple syrup optional, for adjusting sweetness
- 1 egg white or aquafaba for a vegan version
- Ice for shaking and chilling
- *Fresh raspberries and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Like a Pro: Measure all your ingredients, squeeze your lime juice, and make the raspberry syrup in advance. Being prepared makes the process smooth and stress-free.
- Dry Shake
- In a shaker (without ice), combine: Tequila, Passionfruit juice, Raspberry syrup, Lime juice,Egg white (or aquafaba). Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This creates that creamy, frothy texture we’re after.
- Shake with Ice: Add a good handful of ice and shake again for another 15–20 seconds to chill and blend the drink perfectly.
- Strain & Pour: Double-strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or martini glass. This keeps your cocktail smooth and free of ice shards.
- Garnish Beautifully: Top with a few fresh raspberries, a lime wedge, or a sprinkle of lime zest. You could even add an edible flower or a slice of passionfruit for a show-stopping presentation.
- Sip & Savor: Take in the tropical aroma, admire the silky foam, and take your first sip—it’s a refreshing mix of tangy citrus, sweet berries, and smooth tequila that dances on your palate.
Notes
- Chill everything: Keep your ingredients and glassware cold for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness: Add a touch of simple syrup if your passionfruit juice is particularly tart.
- Go vegan: Swap egg white for aquafaba (chickpea brine) for a plant-based foam that works just as well.
- Get creative: Try this with gin, vodka, or mezcal for a different twist.
- Make it a mocktail: Omit the tequila and replace with sparkling water or kombucha for a bubbly, alcohol-free option.
-
If making raspberry syrup at home: simmer ½ cup raspberries, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water until thickened. Strain and cool.
