What Ingredients do you need to make a Passoa Margarita?
To make a Passoa Margarita, you need 4 ingredients:
- Passoa
- Tequila
- Triple Sec
- Lime Juice
Let’s look at these ingredients in a little more detail…
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:
Tequila
Tequila is made from the fermented juice of the blue agave plant primarily in the city of Tequila, in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
In order for Tequila to be official (and to actually be called a Tequila), it must be made in specific regions of Mexico and follow strict regulations.
Different Types of Tequila
There are 5 main types of Tequila:
Blanco (Silver) – Clear, usually unaged with a strong agave flavour.
Reposado – Aged in oak barrels for 2 to 12 months, giving it a smoother flavour with hints of oak and vanilla.
Añejo – Aged 1 to 3 years, offering richer, more complex flavours.
Extra Añejo – Aged over 3 years, with deep, refined flavours, often compared to fine cognacs or whiskies.
Joven (Gold) – A mix of Blanco and aged tequilas, sometimes with added colouring or flavouring.

Cocktail shakers improve the taste of cocktails. It’s a fact.
