Equipment
- Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila preferably a good-quality blanco for its clean, crisp flavors
- 1 oz lime juice
- 1 oz passion fruit puree ensure it's unsweetened to balance the cocktail properly
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1/2 oz orange liqueur like Triple Sec or Cointreau for a bit of citrus depth
- 1 egg white for frothiness and a smooth texture; can be omitted if preferred
- Passion fruit seeds for garnish, optional
- Lime wheel or twist for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Cocktail Shaker:
- Add the tequila, lime juice, passion fruit puree, simple syrup, orange liqueur, and egg white into a cocktail shaker. If you prefer to avoid using egg white, you can substitute it with aquafaba for a similar texture.
Dry Shake:
- Shake the mixture vigorously without ice first (dry shake), for about 15 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg white and develop a nice froth.
Add Ice and Shake Again:
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake again vigorously for another 10-15 seconds. This second shake chills the mixture and enhances the frothy texture.
Strain and Serve:
- Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe glass. This step is crucial to ensure a smooth, frothy top without any ice shards or pulp.
Garnish:
- Scoop a few fresh passion fruit seeds on top of the froth for an extra burst of flavor and a visually appealing garnish. Add a lime wheel or twist to the rim of the glass for an extra touch of elegance.
Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant, tangy, and refreshing flavors of your Passion Fruit Tequila Sour.
