Description

An ode to our favorite Lover girl.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Tito’s vodka
  • 1 ¾ oz passion fruit simple syrup 
  • ½ oz triple Sec
  • ½ oz freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 0.12 grams white luster dust
  • Lime sparkling water
  • Sugar flower petals
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish

For the passion fruit simple syrup:

  • 4 ripe passion fruits
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ sugar

Instructions

  1. Add ice to a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add passion fruit simple syrup, Tito’s Vodka, Triple Sec, lime juice, and luster dust to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until well chilled.
  3. Pour into a champagne flute and top with lime sparkling water (about ½ oz).
  4. Add 1 sugar flower petal on top and place a raspberry on the rim of the glass. 

For the passion fruit simple syrup:

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and then remove from the heat.
  2. Cut each passion fruit in half and scoop the seeds into the simple syrup.
  3. Stir the contents and allow it to steep for at least 2 hours.
  4. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain into a container. Do NOT press on the seeds during straining as this will cloud the final product.
  5. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, as is, in the refrigerator. Adding a tablespoon of vodka or rum it will make the simple syrup last longer.
