Expert Tips and Tricks

Use fresh passionfruit – If possible, fresh pulp gives the best flavor. If using juice, make sure it’s unsweetened.
Shake hard! – The dry shake is key to a thick, velvety foam.
Adjust the sweetness – If you like a tarter drink, reduce the simple syrup slightly.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

No egg white? – Use aquafaba (chickpea water) for a vegan version.
Swap the tequila – Try this with white rum or mezcal for a smoky twist.
Make it a mocktail – Replace tequila with a non-alcoholic spirit or sparkling water.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

With appetizers – Pairs well with salty snacks like chips, nuts, or cheese boards.
Brunch-friendly – Serve alongside eggs Benedict or fruit salad for a fun weekend treat.
Perfect for summer nights – Enjoy on a patio with light grilled dishes.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Best enjoyed fresh – This cocktail doesn’t store well, so serve immediately.
Pre-mix the base – You can mix everything except the egg white ahead of time and store in the fridge for a few hours.
Foam fading? – If you need to revive the foam, give it a quick shake before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes! Just thaw them first or shake the cocktail a little longer to extract the flavors.
What kind of tequila works best?
Silver (blanco) tequila gives a fresh taste, but reposado adds a touch of warmth.
Can I skip the passionfruit?
You can swap it for another tropical fruit like mango or pineapple.
Why do I have to shake it twice?
The first (dry) shake helps the egg white foam, and the second (wet) shake chills everything down.

This Raspberry Passionfruit Tequila Sour is the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and smooth, with a gorgeous foamy top that makes it look just as amazing as it tastes. Whether you’re making it for a party or just to unwind after a long day, this cocktail is sure to be a new favorite. Cheers!
