Looking for a refreshing and tangy cocktail to enjoy on a warm summer day? Look no further than the Passion Margarita! This delicious drink combines the classic flavors of a traditional margarita with the tropical twist of passion fruit. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour, making it a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

To make a Passion Margarita, start by rimming the glass with salt. This step is optional, but it adds a nice touch and enhances the overall taste of the cocktail. Next, fill a shaker with ice and add 2 ounces of tequila. You can use your preferred brand of tequila, but silver or blanco tequila works best for a margarita.

After adding the tequila, pour in 1 ounce of passion fruit puree. Make sure to use a good quality puree or juice for the best flavor. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can adjust the amount of passion fruit puree to your liking.

Once the tequila and passion fruit puree are in the shaker, squeeze the juice of half a lime into the mixture. Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a bright and zesty flavor to the cocktail.

Now it's time to add a touch of sweetness. Add 1 ounce of agave nectar to the shaker. Agave nectar is a natural sweetener that blends well with the other flavors in the margarita. If you don't have agave nectar on hand, you can substitute it with simple syrup or honey.

Give the shaker a good shake to mix all the ingredients together and to chill the cocktail. Shake for about 15-20 seconds, or until the shaker feels cold to the touch.

Finally, strain the cocktail into the rimmed glass filled with ice. Garnish with a slice of lime or a sprig of mint for an extra touch of freshness. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your Passion Margarita!
