How to Make Raspberry Passionfruit Tequila Sour
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Juice the passionfruits and lemons, measure out your simple syrup, and separate the egg white, if using.
Step 2: Dry Shake
Add tequila, passionfruit juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, raspberry liqueur, and egg white (or aquafaba) to a shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for 15 seconds (no ice!)—this helps create that luscious foam.
Step 3: Shake with Ice
Add a large handful of ice cubes to the shaker. Shake again for 30 seconds until well-chilled and frothy.
Step 4: Strain and Serve
Double strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. Top with fresh raspberries and a few passionfruit seeds for a beautiful finish.
