This combines the flavours of the pornstar martini with the structure of the caipirinha, but replaces the vanilla-flavoured vodka typically used in a pornstar with Licor 43, a Spanish liqueur that’s more commonly used in Mexico’s famous coffee cocktail, the carajillo. The result is refreshing, with a bright, passion fruit aroma, a richness from the pineapple and a soft, vanilla finish.
Passion fruit caipirosca
Serves 1
5ml Licor 43
7½ml passion fruit juice – from a carton is fine
7½ml simple sugar syrup
7½ml Suze
15ml fresh lime juice
15ml pineapple juice – again, from a carton
30ml good vodka – we use Grey Goose
1 mint sprig, to garnish
1 slice fresh passion fruit, to garnish
Pour all the liquids into a boston tin filled with ice, then shake hard. Strain into a tumbler filled with crushed ice, garnish with the mint sprig and slice of passion fruit, and serve.
