This Passionfruit Margarita is a bold, tropical upgrade to the classic, with a vibrant blend of tart passionfruit, fresh lime, and smooth silver tequila. The floral sweetness of passionfruit puree adds an irresistible depth, while Grand Marnier or Cointreau rounds out the citrusy brightness. A Tajín-salt rim gives just the right amount of heat to contrast the cocktail’s refreshing, silky texture.

For the best results, use fresh passionfruit puree—either strained from whole fruit or from a high-quality store-bought version. Because fresh passionfruit is hard for me to find, I use a frozen puree that I can find in my local Asian market. Shake your cocktail vigorously for a frosty, well-aerated finish, and don’t skimp on fresh lime juice—it’s essential for balancing the flavors. If your passionfruit is extra tart, adjust with a little more agave. Serve over crushed or cubed ice, garnish with lime and passionfruit pulp, and prepare to be transported to paradise, one sip at a time.
