Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 oz reposado tequila
- 1 oz raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 oz passionfruit juice
- 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba for a vegan alternative)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh raspberries, passionfruit slice, or lemon twist for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling it with ice water while you mix the cocktail.
- Dry Shake for Foam: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, raspberry syrup, passionfruit juice, lemon juice, and egg white (or aquafaba). Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds without ice to create a thick, velvety foam.
- Add Ice and Shake Again: Add a handful of ice to the shaker and shake for another 15-20 seconds until well-chilled and frothy.
- Strain and Serve: Discard the ice from your glass. Strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into the glass, pouring gently to allow the foam to settle on top.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Adorn with fresh raspberries, a passionfruit slice, or a twist of lemon peel for an elegant touch.
Notes
- Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh lemon and passionfruit juice enhances the cocktail’s brightness and depth.
- Master the Dry Shake: Shaking without ice initially ensures proper emulsification of the egg white, resulting in a stable foam.
- Fine-Strain for Smoothness: Straining removes pulp, ensuring a silky texture.
