Cook's Tips for Perfect Easy Raspberry Passionfruit Tequila Sour Cocktail Recipe
- Common mistake and fix: Avoid using too much ice, as it can dilute the cocktail. Use just enough to fill the shaker and glass.
- Expert tip: For a stronger foam, dry shake (shake without ice) the ingredients first, then add ice and shake again.
- Variation: Try using other fruit syrups like mango or pineapple for a different twist.
- Storage tip: Store leftover syrup in the refrigerator for up to a week. The cocktail itself doesn't store well due to dilution from ice.
