Subtle passion fruit flavour and tartness influence rather than dominate this Margarita, allowing the tequila and other ingredients to also shine. Fruity yet sophisticated.

This benefited from a decent amount of dilution. I would recommend 10ml of water.

A fruity margarita what's not to like? As others have noted the passion fruit is perfectly balanced and doesn't dominate.

I loved this… Far more balanced and infinitely superior, as passion fruit-flavoured cocktails go, to a porn star martini. The triple sec enhances the perfume of the passion fruit and it’s a delicious blend of sweet, salty and sour, with a late kick of warmth from the tequila. Quite sophisticated and very drinkable!

One of the drinks with the best integration of Reposado Tequila I had up to now. Delicious!

And me with two aged passion fruit to use up? With my reputation??!!
Very well balanced - a very tasty and classy home cocktail.
The lime makes the passion fruit more complex, the agave balances again, and the tequila is quite restrained.
I'm having a second!

I liked the drink, but, as with most margaritas, I did find it a little sweet for my taste. Will play with this one as I like the concept. Maybe a bit more passion fruit and no agave.

This is really a fantastic and simple recipe. I used Goya pulp since the fresh fruit is hard to come by in my area. My first try I inadvertently used 1 oz, which is equivalent to a whole passion fruit. It was far better with 1/2 oz, like a totally different drink. This is now part of our rotation of favorites.
