It’s quick & easy to make, and it’s perfect for anything from entertaining a house full of friends to a quiet date night at home. Or better yet, a tasty cocktail to sip and enjoy on June 17th! 🙂
Passionate Publicist Ingredients:
You just need 6 simple ingredients to make this Passion Fruit martini:
- 1 part Tequila
- 1 part passion fruit juice/ nectar / passoa or passionfruit syrup
- 1 quarter part orange liqueur or triple sec
- Squeeze of lime
- sprig of mint
- salt or sugar rim
Instructions:
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in Tequila, passion fruit juice, lime juice and orange liqueur.
- Using a spoon, scoop the passion fruit seeds and juice out of each passion fruit and pour into the cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for a slow count of 10-15 seconds. You want to make sure the passion fruit seeds really get distributed throughout the cocktail.
- Strain the cocktail into 2 martini glasses. Top off each glass with a sprig of mint and salt/sugar around the rim.
- Serve with a passion fruit sliced in half atop each drink (or scoop out the seeds and add straight to the drink.
Notes:
*Passion fruit tequila: this is optional, but it adds a lot more flavor. If you can’t find any, regular is perfectly fine. You can always add a bit more fresh passion fruit for extra flavor!
*Passion fruit juice can be hard to find, so you can sub in nectar or passoa juice. It will still tastes fantastic.
*Also, you can make this passion fruit martini up to 2 days before serving. We suggest waiting to add any ice so that it doesn’t melt into the mixture. If you have a busy week ahead of the book launch party, take some stress away by preparing it in advance!
