This tropical martini is inspired by the passion fruit martini family: a contemporary, fresh and aromatic cocktail, with the lively tartness of passion fruit softened by a touch of vanilla syrup.
It is a great choice for a summer evening or for welcoming friends with something different. It is shaken hard to build a fine foam and served very cold, without ice in the glass, garnished with half a passion fruit.
