What Ingredients do you need to make a Passionate Kiss?

Gin

Gin is a distilled alcohol drink made from Juniper Berries and is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages in the world.

Its popularity is growing year on year, with sales in the UK rising beyond £3 billion per year.

For Gin, we recommend:

Passoa

Passoa is a Passion fruit Liqueur that’s made in France, with an alcoholic volume of between 14.9% and 20%.

It was created in 1985 by the Remy Cointreau group, launched to the European market in 1986 and went worldwide in 1994.

We recommend:

Grenadine

Grenadine is a non-alcoholic bar syrup that’s traditionally used to give a cocktail a red or pink tint and is made from pomegranate.

What Equipment do you need to make a Passionate Kiss?

Mixing Glass

If you have a cocktail recipe that calls for the mix to be stirred, rather than shaken, then a Mixing Glass is the way to go.

Why? Because it’s easier to stir and pour the mix, by design. Also, it’s cooler.

For a Mixing Glass, we recommend:

Bar Spoon

Bar Spoons are great for cocktails you’re supposed to stir, rather than shake in a cocktail shaker.

Sure, you can probably use any spoon to stir your drink but these bar spoons are the real deal. It’s the proper equipment to get the job right.

  • They’re long enough to get to the bottom of any cocktail to allow you to properly stir.
  • They have a twist spiral design that allows for a better grip.
  • They’re made out of stainless steel, so they’re durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to clean.

Hawthorne Strainer

If you (or perhaps the person you’re buying for) don’t have a Hawthorne strainer as part of a cocktail shaker set, it’s a great, and incredibly useful, addition to your cocktail toolbox.

The strainer is typically used to remove the ice (or any other unwanted solid ingredients) from your cocktail as it’s poured from the cocktail shaker into your glass.

For a Hawthorne Strainer, we recommend:

Cocktail Glass

This cocktail recipe tastes great, but let’s make it look great too.

Having the right glass for the right cocktail always makes the experience more enjoyable in my experience.

And the right glass is a cocktail glass.
