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.
