Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Glass: Chill your martini or coupe glass by filling it with ice water. Set it aside while you prepare the cocktail.
Mix the Ingredients:
In your cocktail shaker, combine vodka, passion fruit puree, vanilla syrup, and fresh lime juice.
If you're using fresh passion fruit, you can scoop out the pulp and add it directly to the shaker, or muddle it first to release more flavor.
Shake it Up:
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid.
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well mixed and chilled.
Strain into Glass:
Remove the ice from your chilled glass.
Using a strainer, pour the cocktail mixture into the glass, ensuring that no ice bits make it through.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish your Passion Fruit Martini with a half passion fruit on top and, if desired, a sprig of mint for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Variations
Fruit Variations:
Try substituting passion fruit with other fruits like mango, pineapple, or guava for a tropical twist.
Non-Alcoholic Version:
Use soda water or tonic water instead of vodka for a refreshing mocktail.
