Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 2 oz tequila (silver or blanco)
• 1 oz passionfruit juice
• 1 oz raspberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
• 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, to taste)

Directions

Time to get shaking! Follow these steps for cocktail perfection:

1. Juice your lime, then measure out the tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, and any optional simple syrup.
2. If making raspberry syrup at home: simmer ½ cup raspberries, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water until thickened. Strain and cool.
3. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, lime juice, and egg white (or aquafaba).
4. Shake vigorously without ice for 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white for frothiness.

6. Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a silky finish.
