Lima Passion Sour

Description

Passion fruit and pisco make a particularly fragrant pairing, with the spirit’s grape character underneath the tropical fruit. Fresh lemon gives it bite and lime syrup brings a sweeter citrus echo. Choose it if you like the sharpness of a Pisco Sour but want more tropical fruit in the glass.

Ingredients

  • 50 ml Pisco
  • 20 ml Passion fruit syrup
  • 25 ml lemon
  • 10 ml Lime Syrup
  • Ice

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Used to chill, dilute and integrate the cocktail before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for a polished double-strain when citrus, fruit or herbs are shaken.

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds until the drink is properly chilled.
  3. Fine strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice or served straight up.
  4. Garnish to echo the main flavour and serve immediately.
