Purple Cactus

Name: Purple Cactus
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1.5 oz Tequila Reposado; 0.5 oz Sweet Sherry; 1.5 oz Passion Fruit Juice; 1 tsp Grenadine

Bright passion fruit and grenadine give this cocktail a tropical, sweet fruitiness tempered by the nutty, oxidative warmth of sweet sherry and the agave backbone of reposado tequila. It pours a vivid pink-purple over crushed ice and finishes with a maraschino cherry for a playful look. Worth trying for an easy, balanced sipper that marries tequila and fortified wine in a refreshing, modern package.
