The Drinking Guide
The Virgin Pornstar
South Pacific with passionfruit, lime and a measured vanilla dilution, with chilled soda served alongside.
Ingredients
60 ml Sammy South Pacific
30 ml unsweetened passionfruit puree
15 ml fresh lime juice
10 ml Sammy agave syrup
10 ml vanilla working dilution (one part flavouring to four parts water; see prep)
30 ml chilled soda water served separately
Glassware: Coupe glass with small side glass
Ice: Cubed ice for shaking; no serving ice
Garnish: Half a fresh passionfruit
Method
Preparation
Use strained passionfruit pulp without added sugar. Choose water-based vanilla flavouring labelled alcohol-free, not standard alcohol-based extract. Vanilla working dilution: combine 10 ml of that flavouring with 30 ml water and a further 10 ml water; stir thoroughly. Measure only 10 ml of this working dilution into the drink, never the same measure of neat flavouring. Make fresh for the session, refrigerate promptly and keep chilled until use.
Make the cocktail
1. Chill the coupe and a small side glass.
2. Shake South Pacific, puree, lime, agave and the measured vanilla working dilution with solid ice for 8 seconds; the working dilution already contributes water. Fine-strain into the coupe.
3. Float the passionfruit half and serve the measured soda separately as a palate-refreshing sip.
