Pouring a Passion Fruit Martini

This post is dedicated to one of my favorite people in the world, my friend Dayna.  She is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful, and intelligent people I know and tomorrow she is marrying the man of her dreams.  Dayna has been one of my closest friends since we went to high school together 20 years ago and I am so incredibly happy for her.

No one deserves happiness more.  If you met her, you would agree 🙂  Tomorrow is going to be full of love and friends and family and I can’t wait to watch her walk down the aisle as an incredibly gorgeous bride.

This passion fruit martini is similar to one that Dayna told me about a long time ago.  She had something like it at a restaurant and loved it.  I wrote down the ingredients she told me and then they disappeared in my notes until just recently.

Debbie and I went to work mixing up a passion fruit martini using the ingredients Dayna had mentioned and I think it turned out pretty amazing.  The passion fruit shines in this cocktail and the basil adds a freshness that we love.  The honey brings out the sweetness of the passion fruit and tones down the tang just a bit.  Its a big win!

We got our passion fruit purée by cutting open the fruit, scooping out the insides and then straining out the seeds.   It takes a bit of work to get all those seeds out.  If you can buy passion fruit purée, I say go for it.

If not, I found the easiest way is to dump the insides of the fruit into a strainer over top of a bowl and then using a spatula, push the fruit through the strainer until you are left with the seeds.
