Equipment

• 1 jar

Ingredients

• 2 cups tequila preferably blanco or reposado
• Pulp of 2 passionfruits about 1/2 cup
• Zest of 1 lime

Instructions

• Cut the passionfruits in half and scoop out the pulp into a small bowl, including the seeds.
• Wash and dry the lime, then zest it using a fine grater or zester. Be careful to avoid the bitter white pith beneath the zest.
• In a clean, airtight glass jar, combine the tequila, passionfruit pulp, and lime zest. Ensure the ingredients are fully submerged in the tequila.
• Seal the jar tightly and shake it gently to mix the ingredients.
• Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it steep for 3-5 days. Shake the jar gently once a day to help the flavors meld. Taste after 3 days; if the flavor is strong enough, move to the next step. Otherwise, steep for another day or two.
• Strain the tequila through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove the passionfruit seeds and zest.
• Store the infused tequila in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
