# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 oz silver or blanco tequila (a good-quality bottle makes all the difference)
02 -
1 oz passionfruit juice (fresh if possible, or a high-quality bottled version)
03 -
1 oz raspberry syrup (homemade or store-bought, see note below)
04 -
¾ oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 juicy lime)
05 -
½ oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to your sweetness preference)
→ For the Foam
06 -
1 egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba for a vegan-friendly froth)
→ For Serving
07 -
Ice cubes (for shaking)
08 -
Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
09 -
Lime wedge or zest (for a citrusy finish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Juice the lime until you have ¾ oz of fresh juice. Measure out the tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, and simple syrup (if using). If making homemade raspberry syrup, follow the quick recipe in the notes below.
02 -
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, lime juice, and egg white (or aquafaba). Shake hard without ice for 15-20 seconds—this creates that luxurious foam.
03 -
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds. This chills the drink and balances the flavors with a little dilution.
04 -
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass (this ensures a silky texture without ice shards). Garnish with fresh raspberries and a lime wedge for a pop of color.
05 -
Take a moment to admire the beautiful foam before sipping. The tangy passionfruit, sweet raspberry, and smooth tequila should dance on your palate.
# Notes:
01 -
For homemade raspberry syrup: Simmer ½ cup raspberries, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water for 5-7 mins. Strain and cool before using.
02 -
If you prefer less sweetness, reduce or omit the simple syrup—the raspberry syrup already adds sugar.
03 -
For extra flair, lightly torch a rosemary sprig as garnish—it adds a smoky aroma!
