Passionfruit martini
Description
This cocktail starts by extracting juice from fresh passionfruit, which provides a tart and aromatic base. The mixture includes vodka for strength, passionfruit liqueur to intensify flavor, apple juice for mild sweetness, lemon juice for brightness, and passionfruit syrup to adjust sweetness. Shaking with ice chills the drink thoroughly and creates a frosted glass.
If used, the liquid egg white adds a velvety mouthfeel and light froth on top without altering the passionfruit character. The drink is strained into a chilled martini glass, discarding the ice, and garnished with a thin passionfruit slice for visual appeal and subtle aroma.
This martini offers a tropical twist on the classic, suitable for fruit-flavored cocktail enthusiasts. The balance of tart, sweet, and aromatic components makes it enjoyable on its own or alongside light appetizers.
Notes suggest brands for passionfruit liqueur and syrup, and recommend using the syrup within its shelf life once opened.
Ingredients
- 3 passion fruit
- 50 ml apple juice clear pressed
- 50 ml vodka
- 30 ml passionfruit liqueur such as Passoa (see recipe notes)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or more to taste, fresh
- 1 tbsp passionfruit syrup or to taste, Monin brand
- ½ tbsp egg optional, liquid white
Instructions
- Fill your martini glass with ice.
- Halve the passionfruit. Slice one thin sliver and set aside. Scoop the rest out the flesh / seeds into a small sieve. Press at the pulp with the back of the spoon and extract the juice (into your cocktail shaker).
- Add all the remaining ingredients and fill the shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until frost forms on the outside of the shaker.
- Discard the ice from the martini glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass. Decorate with a fine slice of passionfruit.
Notes
- Passionfruit liqueur options include Passoa, Edmond Briottet Fruits de la Passion, or Bols Passionfruit liqueur.
- For passionfruit purée, Funkin Pro is good for bulk use but must be used within 8 days after opening; Monin's has a longer shelf life of about 4 weeks.
- Monin passionfruit syrup or homemade syrup works well for sweetening the cocktail; store and use within recommended shelf life after opening.
