RECIPE FAQ’S
Q: What kind of vodka should I use for this martini?
A: Vanilla vodka is recommended for its sweet, smooth flavor that complements the passion fruit.

A: Yes, but the flavor will be less sweet and aromatic. You can add a drop of vanilla extract to mimic the vanilla vodka.
Q: What is Passion Fruit Puree (Passoa)?
A: Passoa is a passion fruit liqueur, but in this recipe, you can use passionfruit puree for a fruity and tart flavor.
Q: Can I use fresh passion fruit instead of puree?
A: Yes, scoop out the pulp from fresh passionfruit and blend it into a puree. Strain it for a smoother texture.
Q: Is passionfruit syrup necessary?
A: It enhances the sweetness and intensifies the passionfruit flavor, but you can adjust its quantity to taste.
Q: Can I use orange juice instead of pineapple juice?
A: Pineapple juice is preferred for its tropical note, but orange juice can work as a substitute if needed.
