Method
Cocktail
- 1
Combine ingredients
Add Altos Reposado tequila (2 oz), Amaro Montenegro (1/2 oz), passion fruit purée (1 oz), fresh lime juice (3/4 oz), agave syrup (1/2 oz) and egg white (1/2 oz, optional) into a cocktail shaker.
- 2
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If using egg white, seal the shaker and dry shake (no ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify and build froth.
- 3
Wet shake
Add ice (enough to fill the shaker to chill well, about 5 oz) to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the drink is well diluted and chilled.
- 4
Double strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass (or over fresh large ice in an old-fashioned glass if preferred) using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and passion pulp seeds for a smooth texture.
- 5
Finish with passion fruit (optional)
If using fresh passion fruit half, spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of the pulp on top of the foam or into the center of the drink as a flavor/visual accent. The pulp will float and impart aroma.
Garnish

Garnish with a dehydrated lime wheel or a fresh lime wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
