Daddy's Cocktail Syrups Passion Fruit Vanilla
Bright, tropical and lush enough, Daddy's Passion Fruit Vanilla pairs the tangy punch of passion fruit with soft, aromatic vanilla. Passion fruit brings plenty of natural tartness, while vanilla rounds the edges without turning the whole thing into dessert. The combination is juicy, fragrant and ridiculously easy to work with: add fresh citrus and bubbles for a quick zero-proof cocktail, or bring in a non-alcoholic spirit when you want a little more structure.
Why We Love It
Passion fruit already has personality to spare, and the vanilla here is a clever counterpoint. Rather than making the syrup taste heavy or overly sweet, it gives that sharp tropical fruit a softer landing. We also love how little you need to do with it. Lime and sparkling water make a very good drink in about thirty seconds, while tequila and rum alternatives take it somewhere decidedly more cocktail-ish.
How to Drink Daddy's Passion Fruit Vanilla
Keep it beautifully simple with ¾ oz Daddy's Passion Fruit Vanilla, ½ oz fresh lime juice and 4 to 6 oz sparkling water over plenty of ice. For something more substantial, pair it with a non-alcoholic tequila or rum alternative. It's particularly at home in tropical drinks, margarita-style serves and daiquiri riffs.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve: Shake ¾ oz Daddy's Passion Fruit Vanilla, 1½ oz non-alcoholic blanco tequila, ½ oz fresh lime juice and ¼ oz fresh grapefruit juice with ice. Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass and top with 1½ oz sparkling water. Finish with a grapefruit peel. Tart passion fruit stays front and center, vanilla softens the citrus, and the grapefruit keeps the whole thing crisp rather than candy-sweet.
