Passionfruit Sour

A special Mother’s Day cocktail in partnership with @danmurphys. 

This year, I’m gifting my mum with a bottle of her favourite spirit, Gin. However, it’s never enough for me to just give this to her. Everytime she comes over, she always asks me to make some kind of cocktail for her, so we’ve come up with a cocktail together using this gin  and my current obsession, passion fruit, that you can make with your mum for Mother’s Day. It’s fruity, foamy and has that perfect balance of sweet and sourness from the fresh passion fruit. Recipe below.

Ingredients

• 60ml (about 1-2 passion fruits) strained fresh passion fruit juice
• 60ml Roku Gin
• 15ml lemon juice
• 1 egg white or 6 dashes of wonderfoam for a vegan option
• 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
• 1 cup of ice
• 1 passion fruit half for garnishing

Watch the process

Method

1. Place passion fruit juice, gin, egg white, bitters, lemon juice and ice in a cocktail shaker.
2. Close the lid and shake vigorously for at least 1 minute so the cocktail is creamy and foamy.           
3. Pour over a strainer into a coupe glass. 
4. Garnish with the passion fruit half. Cut an incision in the bottom of the passionfruit and hang it on the rim of the glass.
5. Serve and enjoy immediately.
