Today, we are going to round out your Cinco de Mayo celebration meal. Cinco de Mayo drink recipes are so easy to come by {think margaritas, mojitos and beer} but this one offers something a little different from the regular old margarita.
How about a delicious combination of passion fruit juice, agave syrup and a little spice from jalapeno infused tequila?
What You’ll Need:
– 2 ounces passion fruit juice
{if you can’t find just passion fruit juice, Welch’s makes a blend that is frozen and works in a pinch}
– 1 ounce jalapeno infused tequila
– 1 1/2 ounces lime juice
– 1 1/2 ounces agave syrup
– salt or sugar for rim {optional…I use a sugar, salt chili powder mixture from Williams-Sonoma}
– 1 sprig of rosemary for garnish
Let’s Make It:
1) Combine the passion fruit juice, tequila, lime juice and agave syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake to combine and chill.
2) Wipe the rim of a cocktail or margarita glass with lime juice. Dip in sugar or salt mixture. Fill the glass with ice.
3) Pour shaken margarita into prepared glass. Enjoy 🙂
Looking for something to enjoy your cocktail with? How about a cilantro turkey burger with tomatillo dressing? Throw in some chips and salsa, or maybe even a little bacon guacamole, and you’ll have the ultimate celebration meal for Cinco de Mayo!

That sounds delicious! Thanks for the recipe. When I was in Puerto Rico recently, my favorite drink was a Passion Fruit Mojito. I haven’t quite been able to duplicate it. If you know how please let me know! Cheers!
