Cocktail author: my guess is it was created at Los Mochi Restaurant in London.
I love cocktails with tropical tiki like twist, so this recipe blending pornstar martini with caipirinha piqued my interest right from the start.
Vodka as a base spirit provides crispy boozy uncomplicated foundation which allows other tropical flavours take center stage in this cocktail. A splash of Licor 43 adds a subtle hint of sweet vanilla along with gentle earthy bitterness of Suze. Addition of passion fruit juice steers the overall cocktail profile into an unmistakable tropical direction full of delicious tart-sweetness and fruitiness, that combines very well with the taste of pineapple. A touch of simple syrup enables various fruity notes to come to the forefront while balanced by the go-to tropical citrus of lime.
Passion Fruit Caipiroska is a fun vibrant fruity cocktail that will instantly transport you to a sandy tropical beach, but do not let that fool you, it still contains complex flavour profile carefully balancing bitterness, tartness and sweetness for the most pleasurable drinking experience.
