PASSION FRUIT SYRUP COCKTAIL RECIPES

Steps:

• Scoop the seeds from one of the passion fruits into the glass of a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, passoa, lime juice and sugar syrup. Add a handful of ice and shake well, strain into 2 martini glasses, top up with prosecco, then add half a passion fruit to each. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For the vanilla syrup, put the caster sugar in a small non-stick saucepan over a medium heat then pour in the water and vanilla extract. Stir and bring to the boil. CAUTION: boiling sugar is extremely hot. Handle very carefully. Use a deep pan to avoid bubbling over.
• Once the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is clear, take the pan off the heat and leave to cool. Put a coupette or other glass of your choice into the freezer.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Halve the passionfruit, scoop out the insides of one and a half and add them to the shaker. Pour 10ml/2 teaspoons of the cooled vanilla syrup over the ice along with the vodka, liqueur and lime juice. Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds.
• Strain the mixture into the chilled coupette using a hawthorne cocktail strainer and a fine mesh strainer. If you don’t have a strainer, any kitchen sieve will work just as well.
• Float the remaining passionfruit half on top of the drink and serve the Prosecco on the side. We recommend pouring the Prosecco into the passionfruit martini once served!
