Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Chill a coupe or martini glass and a small shot glass in the freezer for 10 minutes, or fill them with ice water while you prepare the drink.
- Add the vanilla vodka, passion fruit liqueur, passion fruit purée, vanilla syrup, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice.
- Seal the shaker and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well chilled and foamy. Vigorous shaking is what builds the signature frothy top.
- Empty the ice water from the glasses. Double strain the cocktail through the Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer into the chilled coupe, so the foam is smooth and free of ice shards and seeds.
- Float the half passion fruit, pulp side up, on the foam. Pour the chilled prosecco into the shot glass and serve it on the side. Sip the cocktail, then follow with the sparkling wine, or pour it into the drink if you prefer.
Notes
Passion fruit purée: Look for it in the freezer or juice aisle of larger grocery stores or online. For fresh pulp, scoop out 2 to 3 passion fruits and press through a fine strainer to remove the seeds.
Vanilla syrup: To make your own, simmer equal parts sugar and water with a split vanilla bean for 5 minutes, then cool. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Vanilla vodka substitute: Use plain vodka and add an extra 1/4 ounce (7 ml) of vanilla syrup.
Serving the prosecco: It is traditionally served on the side as a palate-cleanser, but it can also be poured on top of the cocktail.
Making for a crowd: Multiply the cocktail ingredients by the number of drinks and shake in batches of 2 to 3 servings at a time.
Lower alcohol: Replace the vodka with an extra ounce (30 ml) of passion fruit purée and top with sparkling water or alcohol-free sparkling wine.
