Ingredients
2 oz silver or blanco tequila
1 oz passionfruit juice (fresh or store-bought)
1 oz raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
¾ oz freshly squeezed lime juice
½ oz simple syrup (optional, to taste)
1 egg white or 1 oz aquafaba (for vegan option)
Ice
Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Lime wedge, for garnish
For Homemade Raspberry Syrup (optional):
½ cup raspberries
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
To make syrup: Simmer raspberries, sugar, and water together until slightly thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Strain and let cool before using.
Instructions
-
Juice the lime and prepare all ingredients. If using homemade raspberry syrup, simmer and strain it ahead of time.
-
Add tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, lime juice, simple syrup (if using), and egg white or aquafaba to a cocktail shaker.
-
Dry shake (no ice) for 15–20 seconds to build a strong foam.
-
Add ice to the shaker and shake again vigorously for another 15–20 seconds.
-
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
-
Garnish with fresh raspberries, a lime wedge, or a passionfruit slice.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy the frothy, fruity flavor.
Notes
Dry shaking first is key for achieving a silky foam texture.
Simple syrup is optional and can be reduced or omitted if your juices or raspberry syrup are sweet enough.
For a vegan cocktail, aquafaba (chickpea water) provides a great substitute for egg white.
Chill your glass beforehand for the best presentation and experience.
