Ingredients
Scale
2 oz Club Soda
6–8 Fresh Raspberries, plus extra for garnish
1 oz Passionfruit Pulp (from 1–2 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
Step 1: Gently muddle the 6-8 fresh raspberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker to release their juices and flavor.
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.
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.
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.
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.
