Spicy Passion Mocktail

Ingredients:

• 50 ml passion fruit juice
• 25 ml orange juice
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup
• 1 lime (juice and zest)
• Ice cubes

Preparation:

1. Cayenne and Juice Infusion:

• In a small bowl, combine the passion fruit juice with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Let it sit for about 10 minutes to infuse the juice with a spicy kick. Stir occasionally to ensure even infusion.

2. Main Mix:

• Add the infused passion fruit juice, orange juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, and agave syrup to a cocktail shaker.
• Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

3. Shaking:

• Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This step is crucial as it ensures all ingredients are well mixed and the mocktail is properly chilled.

4. Serving:

• Strain the mixture into a rocks glass using a cocktail strainer. This will remove any ice shards and ensure a smooth drink.
• Garnish the rim of the glass with lime zest for a burst of citrus aroma.
• Optionally, add a thin slice of lime or a small piece of passion fruit on the rim for an appealing presentation.

5. Serving Suggestions:

• Serve this mocktail in a rocks glass to highlight its vibrant color and garnish with a lime slice for an attractive look.
• Accompany with a few fresh passion fruit seeds or a small piece of passion fruit for a delightful presentation.

6. Extra Tips:

• Adjusting Spice Level: For a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or infuse the juice for a shorter time. If you prefer a stronger kick, you can let the infusion sit longer or add a bit more cayenne.
• Sweetness Balance: If you prefer a sweeter mocktail, you can increase the amount of agave syrup. Just make sure it is fully dissolved in the mixture to avoid any graininess.
• Chilling the Glass: For an extra refreshing experience, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before serving the mocktail. This helps keep the drink cold for longer.

7. Flavor Enhancements:

• Herbal Twist: Add a few fresh mint leaves to the shaker before shaking to introduce a subtle herbal note that complements the passion fruit and lime.
• Citrus Burst: For an added citrus burst, you can include a splash of lemon juice or a few drops of lemon bitters in the mix.
• This mocktail, with its vibrant passion fruit flavor and a hint of spice, is a refreshing and exciting choice for any occasion. Enjoy!
