Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 oz tequila
- 2 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 oz passion fruit puree
- 1 oz triple sec
- Salt for rimming
- Ice
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Measure out 4 oz of tequila, 2 oz of fresh lime juice, 2 oz of passion fruit puree, and 1 oz of triple sec. Set these aside for mixing.
- Next, prepare your glasses for serving. Take two cocktail glasses and moisten the rim of each glass with a lime wedge. This will help the salt adhere to the rim.
- On a small plate, spread out a layer of salt. Carefully dip the moistened rim of each glass into the salt, ensuring an even coating. Set the glasses aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the measured tequila, fresh lime juice, passion fruit puree, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice to chill the mixture.
- Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This will mix the ingredients thoroughly and chill the drink.
- Once shaken, remove the lid and strain the mixture into the prepared glasses, being careful not to disturb the salted rim.
- For an extra touch, you can garnish each margarita with a slice of fresh lime or a few seeds from the passion fruit.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Fresh Passion Fruit Margarita!
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: Always opt for fresh lime juice and high-quality passion fruit puree to ensure the most authentic and vibrant flavor profile.
- Chill your ingredients: For an extra refreshing drink, make sure your tequila, triple sec, and lime juice are well-chilled before mixing.
- Shake with purpose: When shaking the cocktail, aim for 15-20 seconds of vigorous shaking to properly combine and chill the ingredients.
- Salt rim technique: For a perfect salt rim, use a lime wedge to moisten the glass edge and dip at a 45-degree angle to get an even, professional-looking coating.
- Presentation matters: Consider garnishing with a passion fruit half or a lime wheel to elevate the visual appeal of your cocktail.
- Ice is crucial: Use fresh, clean ice to prevent any off-flavors from affecting your margarita's taste.
