Maracuya Sour – Seize the Weekend With a Passion Fruit Pisco Sour

passionfruitsour-rIt’s the Friday evening, we’re tired from the long working week, and the sky outside is gray. Do we need better reasons to make ourselves a glass or two of a sweet, colorful, and cheerful Maracuya Sour (passion fruit Pisco Sour)? We don’t think so.

maracuya-sour-r-p1010988Peruvian maracuyá or passion fruit, has a far more intense flavor than its American counterpart. It is larger, with a yellowish skin, and it is full of acid, fruity and floral flavor. If only the purple variety is at hand, feel free to add ½ or 1 tablespoon lime juice to balance the flavors of this sexy cocktail.

Make yourself this beautiful cocktail and relax. Salud!
