A Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting the Ultimate Serve.

Three passionfruit margaritas served in coupe and martini glasses garnished with half passionfruits served at a party in Brighton & Hove

A brighter, sweeter take on the classic Margarita, this modern twist brings tropical passionfruit to one of the world's most-loved tequila cocktails. Blanco tequila provides a clean, crisp base, while fresh passionfruit purée adds natural sweetness and a beautifully vivid colour. An elegant choice for any party at home, and one of those serves that disappears from the bar the moment it's poured.

Story behind the Serve

This serve takes the well-established logic of the Margarita, tequila, citrus, sweetness, and reworks it for a more tropical, modern palate. Passionfruit has become one of the most popular flavours in contemporary cocktail making, prised for its natural acidity and fragrant sweetness, which pairs beautifully with the clean, vegetal notes of a good blanco tequila. Bright, balanced, and a little bit different.
