Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Club Soda
  • 68 Fresh Raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 oz Passionfruit Pulp (from 12 fresh passionfruits or high-quality purée)
  • 1.5 oz Cactus Water
  • 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (1:1 sugar to water)
  • 1 large Egg White
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Gently muddle the 6-8 fresh raspberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker to release their juices and flavor.
  2. Step 2: Add the water with lemon juice, passionfruit pulp, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white, and cactus water to the shaker. Seal the shaker and perform a "dry shake" (without ice) vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a rich foam.
  3. Step 3: Fill the shaker completely with fresh ice. Seal again and perform a "wet shake" for another 15-20 seconds until the cocktail is thoroughly chilled.
  4. Step 4: Double strain the cocktail (using a fine mesh strainer in addition to your shaker's strainer) into a chilled coupe or rocks glass, ensuring a smooth, frothy texture.
  5. Step 5: Garnish your Raspberry Passionfruit Cactus Water Sour with a few fresh raspberries floating on top, and optionally, a half passionfruit shell on the rim of the glass.

Notes

  • For the quintessential frothy texture and vibrant taste, this sour is truly best enjoyed immediately after crafting; its delicate foam will diminish over time.
  • Serve your beautiful sour in a well-chilled coupe or rocks glass, allowing the rich foam to crown the drink, and complete the experience with fresh raspberry and optional passionfruit garnishes.
  • Muddle the raspberries gently—just enough to release their juicy essence—to avoid crushing the seeds and introducing any unwanted bitterness to your cocktail.
  • Before the final chill, feel free to slightly adjust the simple syrup to your taste; a quick dip and taste test ensures your perfect balance of sweet and tart.
