Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring tool
- Blender (optional, for frozen version)
- Strainer
- Margarita glass
Ingredients
Base Cocktail
- 1 oz Hennessy, for a lighter vibe
- 1.5 oz Hennessy, your standard go-to amount
- 2 oz Hennessy, for when you’re feeling bold
- 1 oz passionfruit juice, fresh or store-bought
- 1 oz mango puree, fresh or store-bought
- 0.5 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 oz simple syrup, adjust to taste
- Ice for shaking or blending
Optional Garnishes & Add-Ons
- Tajín or salt for rimming the glass
- Mango slice or lime wedge for that extra tropical flair
Instructions
- Rim the Glass (Optional but makes you look like you’ve got pro-level skills!): Run a lime wedge along the rim of your margarita glass, then dip it into Tajín or salt for a fun, zesty finish. Set the glass aside—it’s about to hold something magical.
- Add Everything In: Grab your cocktail shaker and load it up! Add your chosen dose of Hennessy (light, regular, or strong—choose your vibe), passionfruit juice, mango puree, lime juice, and simple syrup. Then throw in a handful of ice.
- Work Those Arms: Shake it like you’re auditioning for a salsa contest—vigorously, for about 15 seconds—until the outside of that shaker feels icy and ready for action.
- Serve It With Style: Strain the mix into your prepared glass over fresh ice. If you’re opting for a frozen version (smart move), toss everything into a blender with ice and whirr it up until smooth. Pour into your rimmed glass with a smug little smile—you’re fancy.
- Finish With a Tropical Touch: Garnish with a slice of fresh mango or a lime wedge. Bonus points for a tiny cocktail umbrella to really set the mood.
- Sip and Swoon: Bask in your cocktail genius. This drink is smooth, tropical perfection that’ll make you feel like you’re sipping luxury on a beach. You can't help but feel like the star of the show.
Notes
- Non-Alcoholic Option: Trade out Hennessy for passionfruit-mango juice and top with sparkling water for a bubbly twist.
- Sweetness Check: You do you, babe! If you like it tangy, add more lime juice. Want it sweeter? Drizzle in a bit more simple syrup.
- Fresh is Best: Fresh mango and passionfruit transform this into a 5-star sip, but store-bought versions totally get the job done if that’s what’s handy.
- Party Move: Make a pitcher version by scaling up the ingredients. Triple the recipe, blend with ice, and pour into a big jug. Just watch your friends lose it after that first sip.
