Ingredients

For the Rim (Optional)

Margarita

Instructions

Prepare the Rim

  1. For an optional salted rim, pour some water onto a small plate and mix together the coarse sea salt on a separate small plate.
  2. Dip the rim of the glass in the water to moisten, or run a lime slice along the glass. Swirl the moistened rim into the salt mixture and set aside.

Mix and Serve

  1. Add the tequila, passion fruit purée, orange liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker.
  2. Put the top on and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds.
  3. Strain into the serving glass filled with ice. If desired, garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed passion fruit purée for the best flavor. You can find frozen passion fruit purée at specialty stores or order online.
  • This recipe can easily be batched to make a pitcher of margaritas for parties.
  • Reposado tequila provides a smoother, slightly aged flavor that pairs beautifully with passion fruit.
