Instructions
- If using fresh passion fruit, cut them in half and scoop the pulp into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl. Press with a spoon to extract the juice, discarding the seeds.
- If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip in salt.
- Fill your glass with ice and set aside.
- Add the tequila, passion fruit purée, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup to your cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker halfway with ice and shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until well-chilled.
- Strain the cocktail into your prepared glass.
- Garnish with a lime wheel or half a passion fruit.
Notes
- For the most authentic flavor, use fresh passion fruit rather than pre-made syrup. The fresh fruit provides more complexity and bright acidity.
