Passionfruit Martini
About
The Passionfruit Martini is a bold, juicy twist on the modern classic - tropical, aromatic, and impossibly smooth. This version uses Teremana Reposado, whose warm vanilla and oak notes beautifully complement the bright tang of passion fruit purée. Vanilla liqueur adds creamy sweetness, passion fruit liqueur boosts the tropical intensity, and the final touch - a side pour of chilled champagne - brings sparkle and elegance with every sip.
Vibrant, luxurious, and guaranteed to stand out, this cocktail is perfect for celebrations, date nights, or any evening that calls for something a little indulgent and a lot unforgettable.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. The purée, liqueurs, and tequila blend best when shaken hard over ice, giving you that silky, frothy texture the drink is known for.
What You'll Need
Single Serve
- 1.5 oz Teremana Reposado Tequila
- 1.5 oz Passion Fruit Purée
- 0.5 oz Vanilla Liqueur
- 0.5 oz Passion Fruit Liqueur
- 2 oz Chilled Champagne (served on the side)
Garnish: Fresh passion fruit
Pro Tip
Chill both the martini glass and the champagne glass ahead of time. This keeps the textures crisp and lets the bubbles shine. If your purée is thick, add a tiny splash of water before shaking for a smoother pour.
