Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 2 oz (60 ml) reposado tequila
Fruit Components:
- 1 oz (30 ml) raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 oz (30 ml) passionfruit juice
- 0.75 oz (22 ml) fresh lemon juice
Sweeteners and Binding Agents:
- 0.5 oz (15 ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 egg white (or 1 oz (30 ml) aquafaba for a vegan alternative)
Garnish and Serving:
- Ice cubes
- Fresh raspberries
- Passionfruit slice
- Lemon twist
Instructions
- Rapidly chill a coupe or rocks glass by completely filling it with icy water while preparing the cocktail ingredients.
- Pour tequila, raspberry syrup, passionfruit juice, lemon juice, and egg white (or aquafaba) into a cocktail shaker, executing an aggressive, high-energy dry shake for approximately 15 seconds to generate a luxurious, silky foam texture.
- Introduce a generous handful of ice cubes into the shaker, then vigorously agitate the mixture for an additional 15-20 seconds, ensuring thorough chilling and creating a luxurious, frothy consistency.
- Empty the preliminary ice water from the prepared glass, then carefully strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer, allowing the liquid to cascade gently and create a pristine foam layer atop the drink.
- Elevate the visual presentation by artfully placing fresh raspberries, a vibrant passionfruit slice, or an elegantly twisted lemon peel as a sophisticated garnish, transforming the cocktail into a visually stunning libation.
Notes
- Chill your glass thoroughly to keep the cocktail cold longer and enhance the drinking experience.
- Opt for aquafaba as a vegan egg white alternative that creates similar silky foam texture without animal products.
- Use fresh citrus juices to elevate the cocktail’s brightness and avoid flat, dull flavors from bottled options.
- Select high-quality tequila blanco for a clean, crisp base that complements the fruity and tangy components of the drink.
