Raspberry Passionfruit Tequila Sour
The Raspberry Passionfruit Tequila Sour is a vibrant, fruity cocktail that combines the tropical tang of passionfruit with the sweet tartness of raspberry, rounded out by tequila and a luscious foam topping.
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila silver or blanco
- 1 oz passionfruit juice
- 1 oz raspberry syrup store-bought or homemade
- 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup optional, to taste
- 1 egg white or 1 oz aquafaba for vegan option
- Ice for shaking
- Fresh raspberries and lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Juice your lime, measure the tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, and any optional simple syrup.
- If making raspberry syrup at home: simmer ½ cup raspberries, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water until thickened. Strain and cool.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, lime juice, and egg white (or aquafaba).
- Shake vigorously without ice for 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white for frothiness.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds to chill and dilute the drink for a smoother texture.
- Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a silky finish.
- Top with fresh raspberries, a lime wedge, or grated lime zest for visual appeal.
- Sip and savor your vibrant, fruity creation. Cheers!
