Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 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)
Frothy Agent
- 1 egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba for vegan option)
Other
- Ice (for shaking)
- Fresh raspberries (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
Optional Raspberry Syrup Ingredients (if making homemade)
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Juice the lime and measure out the tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, and optional simple syrup to have all components ready.
- Make Raspberry Syrup (Optional): If making syrup at home, simmer 1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water on the stove until thickened. Strain out solids and let the syrup cool before use.
- Combine Ingredients: Add tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, freshly squeezed lime juice, and egg white (or aquafaba) into a cocktail shaker.
- Dry Shake: Shake vigorously without ice for 15-20 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white or aquafaba, creating a frothy, silky texture.
- Shake With Ice: Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds. This chills and dilutes the cocktail slightly for smoothness.
- Strain and Serve: Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth finish.
- Garnish: Top with fresh raspberries and a lime wedge or a sprinkle of grated lime zest to enhance visual appeal and aroma.
- Enjoy: Sip slowly and savor the complex, fruity flavors and refreshing balance of this tequila sour. Cheers!
Notes
- You can substitute aquafaba for egg white to make this cocktail vegan while keeping the frothy texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding or omitting the simple syrup according to your taste preference.
- Using fresh passionfruit juice provides best flavor, but high-quality bottled juice can be used.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider muddling fresh raspberries in the shaker before mixing.
- Double-straining is essential to remove any pulp or ice shards, resulting in a silky smooth drink.
