* Parfait Armour - This is a purple coloured liqueur made from oranges, with vanilla and plant extracts

Passions Perfect in Love cocktail ingredients

(Pete's note): If you haven't already got all of these ingredients, it can be an expensive 'exercise'. So buy the bottles of booze as you can afford it - then enjoy the anticipation until your lips finally taste the Passion...

Passions Perfect in Love is a Martini style drink - very strong in alcohol content - designed to be sipped - 

So if you're drinking - REMEMBER... drink responsibly

Drink responsibly, don't be a bloody idiot

How to make Passions Perfect in Love:

1) get a Martini/cocktail glass and chill it down by placing ice in it 

2) fill your cobbler shaker with ice (broken ice cubes are fine). You'll notice the outside forming condensation - perfect for chilled cocktails

3) pour over: 60ml Vanilla Vodka

                   20ml Parfait Amour

                   10ml Cointreau

4) give it all a good QUICK shake
This is how you use a Cocktail Shaker:

Once loaded with ice and ingredients, hold top and bottom of shaker, move the wrist and forearm together, shake sharply for a few seconds - about eight sharp shakes

5) empty the ice out of the Martini glass

6) strain what you've just shaken into the Martini glass

7) drizzle 10ml Passionfruit Liqueur down the inside of the glass and let it settle
