Here’s how to make a Grey Goose Passion Drop.

Ingredients:

1 ½ oz GREY GOOSE Vodka
½ oz Small Hand Foods Ginger Syrup
½ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
½ oz Les Vergers Boiron Passion Fruit Puree
¼ oz Simple Syrup (1:1 ratio of sugar to water)
+ Lemon Twist

Method:

Shake and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a lemon twist on garnish pick.

Looking at this cocktail, the combination of bright passion fruit with spicy ginger syrup hits all the flavor notes in a single sip. There are notes of brightness and a touch of sweet. As the flavor builds, it is similar to the crescendo in a song. Even as the flavor lingers a touch, it is the leaves the drinker wanting a touch more.

Thinking about this particular cocktail, it showcases that the martini concept can be transformed in many ways. While a classic vodka martini might never go out of style, it can get a glow-up on occasion. Similar to how some musicians sample a beat to give a riff new life, blending the classic and the new can be quite engaging.
