passionfruit punch
Well, that was a doozy.
You ever have an idea for a cocktail that turns out nothing like you planned? That’s the story of this one.
After being inspired by my new YouTube series obsession called ‘Dirt’ produced by Huckberry, I wanted to try and emulate the most recent episode that dives into New Zealand.
Little did I know, I was about to head down a road filled to the brim with failures and lessons—I was on the verge of crashing out twice that last day.
The lesson: mistakes still end up being delicious.
Ingredients
6 whole passionfruit
150g Sugar
50g water
125ml Lemon juice
125ml Lime juice
500ml Gin, preferably local (I used las vegas distillery)
400ml whole milk
1 egg white
Steps
passionfruit syrup
150g Passionfruit guts (about 6 whole passionfruits, gutted)
150g Sugar
50g water
Combine passionfruit and sugar into a container and store in the fridge to allow the sugar to begin turning into a syrup. Stir in water gradually while stirring until sugar fully dissolves. Strain out any remaining solids/seeds.
