#Pro Tips from Baza
** Select the Right Passion Fruit ** Use ripe passion fruit for the best flavor. The skin should be slightly wrinkled, indicating it is ripe and the inside will be juicier and sweeter.
** Adjust the Sweetness ** Depending on your taste preference and the sweetness of the passion fruit, adjust the amount of sugar or sweetener in the recipe. Start with less and add more as needed.
** Chill Your Ingredients ** For the smoothest, most refreshing cocktail experience, chill your tequila, lime juice, and passion fruit pulp before mixing. This keeps your margarita cool and dilutes it less.
