Cocktail

Method

Prep

1

Optional rim

If you want a sugared rim, rub the lemon wedge around the outside rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass, then dip the rim into coarse sugar or demerara on a small plate. Set glass aside.

2

If using fresh passion fruit, halve it and scoop out about 1.5 oz of pulp (including seeds). If using purée, measure 1.5 oz.

3

Measure and ready all spirits, lemon juice, and simple syrup.

Mixing & Shaking

4

Add blanco tequila (2 oz), amaretto (1 oz), triple sec (0.75 oz), passion fruit purée or pulp (1.5 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.75 oz) and simple syrup (0.5 oz) into a cocktail shaker.

5

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) to properly chill and dilute the cocktail.

6

Shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted. Vigorously shaking helps integrate the amaretto and passion fruit pulp.

7

Double-strain into the prepared chilled coupe or into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice (use a fine mesh strainer if you used passion fruit seeds and want a smoother drink).

Garnish & Serve

8

Float about 1/2 tbsp of reserved passion fruit pulp or spoon a small amount of seeds on top for visual appeal and texture (if desired).

9

Garnish with a lemon wheel on the rim or a thin twist of lemon peel. Serve immediately.
