Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 slices fresh jalapeño (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ lime, juiced
  • 1 ounce passion fruit simple syrup
  • 1 ounce tequila
  • Splash of club soda

Instructions

  1. Prepare Glass: Begin by selecting a chilled cocktail glass or rocks glass. If desired, rim the glass with salt or sugar to enhance flavor.
  2. Muddle Jalapeño: Place 2-3 jalapeño slices into a shaker. Muddle gently to release the jalapeño’s heat and aroma, adjusting quantity for preferred spiciness.

  4. Add Tequila and Ice: Add 1 ounce of tequila and fill the shaker with ice cubes. Secure the lid tightly.
  5. Shake Cocktail: Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and combined.
  6. Strain and Serve: Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Leave space for club soda.
  7. Add Club Soda: Top off the drink with a splash of club soda for a light, fizzy finish.
  8. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with passion fruit seeds (pulp) and a lime wedge on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy passion fruit margarita.

Notes

  • Adjust jalapeño slices to control the level of spiciness in your margarita.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cocktail, increase the amount of passion fruit simple syrup to taste.
  • Use fresh lime juice for best flavor.
  • To make passion fruit simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water with passion fruit pulp; heat until sugar dissolves, then cool.
  • For a stronger cocktail, increase tequila quantity accordingly.
