For Homemade Raspberry Syrup (optional)

Instructions

- Combine in Shaker: Add tequila, passionfruit juice, raspberry syrup, lime juice, and egg white (or aquafaba) into a cocktail shaker.
- Dry Shake: Shake vigorously without ice for 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create frothiness.
- Shake with Ice: Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the cocktail for a smoother taste.
- Strain and Serve: Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to ensure a silky smooth finish without ice shards or pulp.
- Garnish: Top with fresh raspberries, a lime wedge, or grated lime zest for visual appeal.
- Enjoy: Sip and savor your vibrant, fruity tequila sour. Cheers!
