Passionfruit Margarita

Today, the temperatures dropped by over 20 degrees in San Francisco compared to yesterday. It's a crazy city we live in. Thank goodness we went to Sausalito yesterday! Today we holed up at home, ate comfort food, and sipped cocktails. There's one for all y'all out there:

Passionfruit cocktail (enough for two lowball glasses):

• 1/4 package Goya passionfruit pulp (in the freezer of your local Mexican market)
• juice of one lime
• 2 cups ice
• 2-3 shots 100% agave tequila
• 1 shot agave syrup, simple syrup, or your sweetener of choice
• 1 shot Cointreau (optional, and which can take the place of sweetener)
  

Throw everything into a blender and combine until slushy. If the blender gets stuck, add a little more tequila or water. If you're not too good with blended drinks, leave out half the liquid to start and add it slowly as the blender gets going. In my experience, if you start out with too much liquid in the blender, large chunks of ice will start bouncing around in the liquid and never pulverize. If you start out with not enough liquid, the blender will get stuck but you can turn it off and add a little more liquid without doing any harm to the machine.

Pour into a glass with a salt rim, which is what I forgot to do here. Top with a few dashes of bitters for some color and to take the edge off the sugar. Cheers!
