Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz Gin
- 2 oz Passion Fruit juice
- 5-6 drops of Lemon Bitters
- Soda Water for topping
- ½ Passion Fruit pulp, for garnish
Instructions
Chill the Glass:
- Start by chilling a highball glass in the freezer to ensure your drink stays cooler longer.
Mix Gin and Passion Fruit:
- In a shaker, combine the gin and passion fruit drink mix. If you're using passion fruit juice instead of concentrated mix, remember to adjust the amount to 3-4 oz to balance the flavors.
Add Lemon Bitters:
- Add 5-6 drops of lemon bitters to the shaker. The bitters will add a nice complexity to the fizz.
Shake:
- Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but also helps to dilute it slightly, enhancing the melding of flavors.
Pour and Top with Soda:
- Strain the mixture into your chilled highball glass filled with ice. Top it off with soda water, adjusting the amount to your liking for fizziness.
Garnish:
- Cut a passion fruit in half, scoop out the pulp of one half, and use it to garnish your drink. This not only looks great but adds a fresh burst of flavor as you sip.
Serve:
- Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the soda through the cocktail and serve immediately.
