Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare base

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz pisco (or vodka), 3 tbsp fresh passion fruit pulp (strain seeds if you prefer less texture), 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

  2. 2

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup), cap, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

  3. 3

    Strain

    Double-strain the mixture into a highball or Collins glass filled with fresh ice to remove pulp and seeds (use a fine mesh strainer if you want a smoother drink).

  4. 4

    Top and finish

    Top the glass with about 3 oz chilled ginger ale (or chilled club soda for a drier, less sweet Chilcano). Stir gently twice with a bar spoon to combine without losing carbonation.

Garnish

  1. 5

    Float half a passion fruit or a thin passion fruit wheel on top of the drink, add a lime wheel to the rim, and tuck a mint sprig beside the fruit if using. Serve immediately with a straw.
