Inspired by the idea of the ‘duality of passion,’ Sullivan Doh mixes two different textures in this cocktail – combining a fruit and sour base with a smooth, coconut cream foam.
Act Of Passion
Ingredients
1.5 oz D’USSÉ VSOP
1.5 oz passion fruit juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz simple syrup
Red chilli peppers (one or two slices)
Coconut powder and sesame seeds for garnish
Method
1. Muddle the chilli slices at the base of a shaker and add the remaining ingredients. Shake vigorously with ice and strain into a coupe glass.
2. Top with coconut foam.*
3. Garnish with a blend of toasted coconut powder and toasted sesame seeds to add flavour and texture.
*To make the coconut foam, pour the below into a cream siphon:
2 tbsp coconut cream
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1 cup coconut milk
Juice of half a lime
1 tsp vanilla extract
Charge it with one N2O cartridge and it’s ready to go
