Subtle passion fruit flavour and tartness influence rather than dominate this Margarita, allowing the tequila and other ingredients to also shine. Fruity...
No fresh passionfruit so we substituted 10ml Chinola liqueur. And we split the syrup 2.5ml each of Agave and passionfruit syrup. Also, we followed John Hinojos' example and floated Anejo Tequila. We call it 'Passion Bomb Margarita'...gorgeous.
Made again, but this time substituted Chinola Passion Fruit liqueur as I did not have any passion fruit. The liqueur is made from real passion fruit juice and must be refrigerated after open, but wonderful. Omitted some of the other sweetener as I like my margaritas on the sour side. Added a float of Anejo tequila which brought it to another level.
Replaced the agave syrup with ginger syrup - delicious.

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!
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.
