The ingredients: A harmonious blend of herbs and exoticism
The ingredients of Absinthe Passion Fruit create a fascinating blend of intense herbs and fruity sweetness. The balanced combination creates a cocktail that is both strong and refreshing.
4 cl absinthe
2 cl gin
10 cl passion fruit nectar
Absinthe
The absinthe is the main ingredient in this cocktail and provides the characteristic herbal note. At 4 cl, the absinthe brings a complex spice to the drink, characterized by notes of wormwood, anise and fennel. These strong aromas contrast with the fruity sweetness of the passion fruit nectar and give the cocktail its depth. Absinthe, also known as the “Green Fairy”, has a long history in the cocktail world and is famous for its intense aromas and high alcohol content. In this cocktail, it gives the Absinthe Passion Fruit its unmistakable character.
Gin
2 cl gin is added as the second spirit. Gin is a juniper brandy that gets its diverse aromas from the use of various botanicals such as coriander, citrus fruits and of course juniper. In Absinthe Maracuja, the gin complements the herbal aromas of the absinthe while adding additional spice and freshness. The combination of absinthe and gin creates a deep, aromatic profile that is balanced by the fruitiness of the passion fruit nectar.
Passion fruit nectar
10 cl of passion fruit nectar brings the exotic component to the cocktail. The nectar gives the drink a pleasant sweetness and a fruity taste that harmoniously complements the strong herbal aromas of the absinthe and the spicy notes of the gin. Maracuja, also known as passion fruit, has an intense, slightly sour sweetness that gives the cocktail a refreshing lightness. The nectar gives the Absinthe Maracuja a tempting golden yellow color that immediately makes you want to take a sip.
Preparing Absinthe Maracuja
Preparing this cocktail is extremely simple and therefore also suitable for spontaneous cocktail evenings. First, put a few ice cubes in a long drink or tumbler glass to cool the drink well and intensify the aromas. Then pour 4 cl of absinthe and 2 cl of gin over the ice cubes. Then add the passion fruit nectar, which makes up the majority of the cocktail at 10 cl. A quick stir ensures that the spirits and nectar mix well and a harmonious taste is created. Stirring on ice cools the drink slightly and gives it its refreshing note.
Serving suggestions and decoration
The Absinthe Passion Fruit is best served in a tumbler or long drink glass to perfectly showcase the mixture of fruitiness and herbs. A slice of passion fruit or a slice of lime on the rim of the glass is a good decoration, which emphasizes the exotic note of the cocktail. Alternatively, a sprig of fresh mint can be used to give the drink additional freshness and an appealing appearance.
