    What is a Passion Fruit Margarita?

    A passion fruit margarita is a combination of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, simple syrup and passion fruit liqueur. This pretty pink cocktail has a really smooth sweet and sour citrus flavor with a burst of tropical passion fruit at the end.

    This cocktail is a fun flavored twist on the classic margarita. A classic margarita is a combination of tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup. This has the nice passion fruit flavor added in.

    There are several other fruit flavored margaritas to try including a watermelon margarita, strawberry margarita, banana margarita and blueberry margarita.

    The passion fruit liqueur adds the pretty reddish pink color to the cocktail. It has a sweet, tropical passion fruit flavor. It adds around 20% alcohol by volume. We like to use the brand passoa. But you can use any passion fruit liqueur you prefer. Passion fruit is a common flavor for cocktails such as this passion fruit daquiri.

    For the simple syrup and lime juice, you can use a store-bought or homemade. To make your own simple syrup it’s really easy just boil together water and sugar. Home squeezed lime juice tends to have a little more of a tart, fresh flavor.

    Triple sec is a clear orange flavored liqueur. It helps to add some of the citrus flavor to this drink.

    The best tequila for this drink is a silver tequila. It has a clear color and lighter flavor than other tequila’s like gold tequila. Any brand will do quite well as the other flavors in this drink dominate. We like to use patron or 1800.

    When to Make This Drink:

    This fruity and tropical drink is perfect for serving up during times like:

    Variations:

    Looking to keep the flavor of this drink, but substitute some of the ingredients? Give these ideas a try:

    • Use passion fruit juice. Instead of using passion fruit liqueur, dial the alcohol content down a little and use passion fruit juice.
    • Muddle your passion fruit. Get a more fresh true passion fruit flavor by muddling passion fruit in the cocktail shaker for this drink.
    • Use flavored simple syrup. Use a lime flavored simple syrup, an orange layer example syrup or a passion fruit simple syrup to capitalize on the other flavors in this drink.
    • Use a different orange liqueur. Substitute the triple sec for Cointreau or Grand Marnier as they are all equally good orange liqueurs.
    • Make it frozen. Blend about a half a cup of ice in with the rest of the ingredients.
