Craving a tropical getaway without leaving your backyard? This vibrant, alcohol-free drink blends the exotic taste of passionfruit with zesty lime and a hint of sweetness, delivering a refreshing experience that’s so indulgent.

The finishing touch? A juicy half of passionfruit floating on top—because why not go all in? A little spoon is optional but highly recommended, because scooping out those passionfruit seeds mid-sip just hits different.

While this drink is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the passionfruit and lime mixture in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. When ready to serve, simply pour over ice, top with sparkling water, and garnish as desired.

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

small plate
cocktail glasses
cocktail shaker

Instructions

Prepare the rim spices on a flat plate by zesting a fresh lime and mixing it with dried chili and a pinch of salt.
Prep the glasses by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim, then dipping the glass into the lime-chili-salt mixture to create a flavorful edge. Set the glasses aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine freshly squeezed lime juice, passionfruit purée, and agave syrup. Add a handful of ice cubes and shake well until chilled.
Take a prepared glass and add a few ice cubes. Strain the shaken mixture into the glass, then top it off with sparkling water.
Cut a passionfruit in half and place one half into each drink for that final tropical touch.
Note: If you’d like to enjoy this drink with alcohol, simply add 1 shot of tequila while shaking. Just like that, your virgin margarita transforms into a classic passionfruit margarita!

If you’re looking for tacos that actually hit to spot, this is the one. Smoky, spicy shrimp caramelized in a honey mustard butter glaze, crisp cabbage slaw tossed with fresh passionfruit and lime, all tucked into warm tortillas. It’s the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and freshness. This is not your basic taco night, this is tropical and vibrant.

These tacos are best served fresh, straight off the pan, while the shrimp are still warm and juicy. A chilled margarita or a sparkling lime soda? Absolute game-changer. And if you’re feeling extra, a drizzle of extra honey mustard glaze over the top seals the deal. Tacos this good deserve to be the main event.

Shrimp are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat gently in a pan to keep them from drying out. The slaw can last a day, but keep the dressing separate until serving.

Discover the magic of homemade jalapeño oil! This simple condiment adds a vibrant, spicy flair to your dishes. It’s a fantastic way to introduce a punch of flavor with minimal effort. Whether you’re drizzling it over pizza or stirring into soups, it’s guaranteed to impress.

Drizzle it over your morning eggs to kickstart your day or add a dash to your pasta for an evening treat. It’s perfect for enhancing grilled meats or as a zesty addition to your salad dressings. Experiment and let your taste buds lead the way! I love to eat it in this Spicy Rice Shrimp Bowl & Mango Avocado Salsa.

Keep your jalapeño oil in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays fresh and flavorful for up to 1-2 weeks, ready to add a spicy note whenever you need it.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

blender
medium-sized saucepan
whisk
a bowl which the medium saucepan fits into
2 medium-sized bowls
2 fine sieves
sealable container (oil bottle)
ice cubes
coffee filter

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 jalapeños
250 milliliters unrefined cold-pressed sunflower oil

Instructions

Cut the stems off and put the jalapeños into the blender. Pour in the oil. Blend on the highest setting until there are only tiny pieces of the jalapeños left.
Pour the mixture from the blender into a medium-sized pot and heat it over medium heat to a temperature of about 103°C (217°F), and maintain this temperature for the next 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, making sure the temperature remains steady and nothing gets burned.
Prepare a bowl large enough to fit a medium-sized pot, and fill it with cold water and a handful of ice cubes. Also, hang a fine sieve strainer over one medium-sized bowl and another fine sieve strainer, with a coffee filter inside it, over another medium-sized bowl.
Now, place the pot in the ice water and stir to cool the oil quickly. Once the oil is almost cold, remove the pot from the water and pour the oil into the prepared fine sieve to catch the coarse particles.
Then, pour the oil into the second sieve, which is equipped with a coffee filter, to catch the remaining finer particles.
Allow the oil to drip through for about 30 minutes or maybe less depending on how many remaining particles are in the coffee filter. Once all the oil has passed through the coffee filter, transfer the collected amount of oil into a sealable container or directly into an oil bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
