Passion of the Kill
Kingston Chan of Los Angeles
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. Lobos 1707 Joven Tequila
- 1 oz. Passionfruit juice
- 3/4 oz. Fresh Lime juice
- 3/4 oz. Agave nectar
- 2 oz. Sapphire Wolfberry Infused Sparkling Lemonade
Garnish: Passion Fruit Moon with Passion Fruit Seeds, Mint Sprig and Sapphire Wolfberry infused salt on the rim.
Preparation: On a plate, combine 1/2 cup of Fine Grounded Sapphire Wolfberries with 1/2 Cup of fine Sea Salt. Mix it well so it becomes intertwined with no particle chunks. Grab a Lime Wedge and rub on half of glassware. Carefully, salt the rim with the Sapphire Wolfberry-infused Salt.
In a shaker, bring ingredients together, including the Lime Wedge used earlier. Regal shake with good shaking ice (I personally recommend Penny Pound Ice’s Kold Draft) for 20 seconds with the lime wedge inside the shaker so the rind brings out a nice bitter, floral element to the cocktail with its essential oils. This is actually the “passion of the kill” secret method to allow the cocktail to become truly extraordinary! Strain cocktail into glassware. Place crushed ice (like Penny Pound Ice’s Pebble Ice) into cocktail. With a bar spoon, tilt at 45 degrees to float 2oz of the Wolfberry Infused Sparkling Lemonade on top to give a dramatic purple hue for visual effect. Garnish with a Passionfruit on top with Passionfruit Seeds to cascade below it and a Mint Sprig for aroma. Cheers!
