Let’s dive into the details of what makes this drink so special!
Ingredients
25ml Passionfruit Syrup
This syrup is the star of the show, providing a rich, fruity flavour that is both sweet and tangy. Passionfruit has aromatic qualities and vibrant colour, making it a perfect base for cocktails. When selecting a passionfruit syrup, look for one that uses real fruit extracts for the best taste and quality.
10ml Lime Juice
Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a zesty brightness to the cocktail, balancing the sweetness of the passionfruit syrup. Lime juice is not only refreshing but also enhances the overall flavor profile of the drink. For the best results, use fresh limes instead of bottled juice to ensure maximum flavour.
Double Dutch Double Orange
This premium mixer uses natural ingredients and offers a unique blend of orange flavours. It complements the passionfruit syrup beautifully, adding depth and complexity to the drink.
Accessories
Highball Glass
A highball glass is essential for serving this cocktail, as it allows for ample space for ice and mixers. Its tall, slender design showcases the vibrant colours of the drink. As well as helping to maintain the temperature of the drink, making each sip refreshing.
Long Spoon
A long spoon is perfect for stirring the ingredients together without disturbing the ice too much. This ensures that your cocktail remains cold while allowing the flavours to meld beautifully. It’s also handy for garnishing the drink with fresh mint or passionfruit.
Jigger
Precision is key in mixology, and a jigger is an indispensable tool for measuring your ingredients accurately. This ensures that your Long Tall Passion has the perfect balance of flavors. A jigger typically has two sides for measuring different volumes, making it easy to create cocktails with consistent results.
Mixologist Tips
- Prep Ingredients in Advance: Measure out your passionfruit syrup and lime juice ahead of time. This will streamline the mixing process and ensure you have everything ready to go.
- Chill Your Glass: Pre-chill your highball glass by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes. This will keep your cocktail colder for longer.
- Batch Preparation: If you're serving a group, consider making a larger batch of the cocktail in a pitcher. Just multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need, and stir well before serving.
