The Passion Fruit Margarita is a tropical-sour riff that drinks like “classic marg structure meets bright island fruit.” Tequila or mezcal (or a zero proof spirit alternative) brings agave depth, passion fruit purée adds aromatic tang and lush fruit lift, and Top Hat Agave Nectar delivers clean sweetness that stays balanced (not candy). Fresh lime keeps it snapped into focus—shake hard, strain over fresh ice, and you’ve got a margarita that’s vibrant, tart, and seriously crushable.
This build is all about clarity: agave spirit + lime for classic margarita structure, then passion fruit for aromatic tropical tang. Top Hat Agave Nectar keeps the sweetness clean and controlled so the purée reads bright and punchy instead of syrupy. If you like a salted rim, go half-salt so every sip stays balanced.
Method
- If using a salt rim, half-rim a rocks glass (lime wedge + flaky salt) and fill with fresh ice.
- Add to a shaker: 1.5 oz tequila/mezcal (or zero proof alternative), 0.5 oz passion fruit purée, 1 oz Top Hat Agave Nectar, and 1 oz fresh lime juice.
- Fill shaker with ice and shake hard for 8–10 seconds until very cold.
- Strain over fresh ice in your prepared glass.
- Optional: garnish with a lime wheel and serve immediately.
Pro move: If your passion fruit purée is extra thick, add it first, then lime—give a quick “pre-stir” in the tin before shaking so everything integrates cleanly.
