Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita

The Frozen Passion Fruit Mezcalita is a vibrant, blended cocktail that delivers a surprisingly tart and dry flavor profile. It combines the earthy smoke of mezcal with the bright tropical notes of Passoã passion fruit liqueur, fresh passion fruit purée, and freshly squeezed lime juice, all balanced with a touch of rich sugar syrup. Blended with crushed ice and served in a chilled coupe, it is beautifully garnished with a lime wheel or a float of fresh passion fruit seeds.

Ingredients:

• 40 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 22.5 ml Passoã passion fruit liqueur

• 22.5 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)

• 15 ml Boiron Passion Fruit Purée

• 10 ml Sugar syrup 'rich' (2 sugar to 1 water, 65.0°Brix)

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a COUPE GLASS.

• Prepare a garnish of a lime slice wheel on the rim, or float half a fresh passion fruit, or top the centre of the cocktail with a spoon of passion fruit seeds and flesh.

• Blend all ingredients with ¾ of a 7oz scoop of crushed ice.

• Pour into a chilled glass.
