Day 19: "Passion Cocktail"


This next cocktail is supposedly ideal for a romantic night. Even the name, Passion Cocktail, hints at a romantic evening with a lover…

Here’s the recipe I used (taken from About.com):

2 oz tequila (Sauza Tequila Silver)
3 oz cranberry juice (Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice)
1/2 oz lime juice (Tantillo Lime Juice)
2 oz triple sec (J. Brandt Triple Sec)

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake. Strain into a glass and serve.

Since this is a drink with a little island flavor, feel free to use any type of glassware, and get a little crazy with the garnishing.

Personal tasting notes: I couldn’t get past the overwhelming tequila taste. Maybe vodka would have been a better alcohol to use? I probably won’t be trying this drink again, unless I can find a completely different spin.
