Introduction

The Raspberry Passionfruit Tequila Sour is a bright and refreshing cocktail that combines tropical passionfruit with sweet raspberry and zesty lime. This vibrant drink is perfect for warm evenings or when you want to impress with a colorful, fruity twist on a classic sour.

A clear short glass with a diamond pattern holds a three-layered drink sitting on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a deep red, the middle layer is a mix of red and orange with a frosty texture, and the top layer is smooth white foam. The drink is decorated with a skewer balanced across the rim, holding a halved passion fruit with yellow seeds facing out, two bright red raspberries, and a sprig of fresh green mint leaves behind the fruit. Warm soft lights and a blurred heart shape make up the cozy background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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)
1 egg white (or 1 oz aquafaba for vegan option)
Ice (for shaking)
Fresh raspberries and lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Juice your lime and measure the tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, and any optional simple syrup.
Step 2: If making raspberry syrup at home, simmer ½ cup raspberries, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water until thickened, then strain and cool.
Step 3: In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, lime juice, and egg white (or aquafaba).
Step 4: Shake vigorously without ice for 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create frothiness.
Step 5: Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the drink for a smoother texture.
Step 6: Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a silky finish.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh raspberries, a lime wedge, or grated lime zest for visual appeal.
Step 8: Sip and savor your vibrant, fruity creation. Cheers!

Tips & Variations

For a vegan cocktail, use aquafaba in place of the egg white to maintain froth without animal products.
Adjust the simple syrup to your preferred sweetness, especially if your passionfruit juice is very tart.
Try adding a splash of club soda for a lighter, fizzy version.

Storage

This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh. If you must prepare it ahead, store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but shake again before serving to restore frothiness. Pre-made raspberry syrup can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

How to Serve

The image shows a tall glass with a long stem filled with a three-layered drink. The bottom layer is a bright red liquid with a slightly frosted texture on the glass. Above this is a thin, vibrant pink layer, followed by a thicker, creamy light orange-yellow layer topped with a foamy white head. On top of the drink sits a skewer holding three fresh red raspberries, a slice of passion fruit with yellow seeds, and a small green mint leaf on the side. The drink is set against a white marbled surface scattered with red rose petals and soft bokeh lights in the blurry background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I omit the egg white?

Yes, you can skip the egg white, but the drink will lack the creamy froth and smooth texture it provides. Aquafaba is a great vegan substitution that maintains the froth.

How do I make raspberry syrup at home?

Simmer equal parts raspberries, sugar, and water until the mixture thickens. Strain out the solids and let it cool before using. This syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks.
