Ingredients

Scale

For the Cocktail

  • 1 ½ oz passionfruit cocktail OR fresh passionfruit pulp (about 1 passionfruit)
  • 2 oz tequila blanco
  • ¾ oz lime juice
  • ¼ oz agave syrup
  • 2 dashes orange bitters

For the Glass (Optional)

  • Chili lime seasoning (such as Tajín, Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend, or homemade blend)
  • Lime wheel

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: If using, rim your glass with chili lime seasoning by moistening the rim with lime juice or water, then dipping it into the seasoning blend to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
  2. Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine the passionfruit cocktail or fresh passionfruit pulp, tequila blanco, lime juice, agave syrup, and orange bitters. Fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake Well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
  4. Serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass for an added touch of freshness and aroma.

Notes

  • Fresh passionfruit pulp offers a more natural and vibrant flavor than pre-made passionfruit cocktail.
  • Adjust the agave syrup to taste based on your preferred level of sweetness.
  • The orange bitters add complexity and depth; if unavailable, you may omit or substitute with a dash of orange zest.
  • The chili lime seasoning rim adds a delicious spicy and tangy contrast to the sweetness of the drink.
  • Use high-quality blanco tequila for the best flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately after preparation to enjoy the freshest taste.
