Summer is spritz season and we love to experiment with different liquors and fruits. While relaxing on Cape Cod in late August, we concocted this tequila-based spritz. Typically we use Pitaya Foods’ frozen fruit in our smoothies, but since it was a hot summer day and we were headed to the beach, we figured their frozen passionfruit cubes were the perfect addition to this refreshing spritz. This colorful concoction was a crowd pleaser with our friends on the beach, and we often still get requests for this recipe. So without further ado, we bring to your our tequila passionfruit spritz!
Tequila passionfruit spritz
A smooth, fresh twist on the ever-present summertime spritz. This colorful yet simple spritz blends tequila, Pitaya Foods' passionfruit, Aperol, agave and bubbles.
Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila (we like Hornitos)
- 1.5 oz passionfruit juice (we melted down Pitaya Foods' frozen chunks)
- .75 oz Aperol
- 2-3 dashes agave (add more if you prefer your drink on the sweeter side)
- 1 splash prosecco
- 1 splash club soda
- 1 orange wheel
- 1 mint sprig
Instructions
- Add tequila, passionfruit juice, aperol and agave to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
- Shake vigorously and pour into a glass (we prefer a big wine glass) filled with crushed ice.
- Top with prosecco and club soda.
- Garnish with orange wheel and mint.
