A Passionfruit Margarita combines honey, passionfruit, and pueblo viejo blanco in a bright, citrusy and lightly sweet margarita. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.

Conventional recipe adapted from the Draftology keg specification by Craft Standard.
Substitutions
- No honey syrup? Replace it with another fruit syrup at the same measure, or make a quick syrup from the matching fresh fruit.
- Use mezcal for a smokier drink, or split the spirit half tequila and half mezcal.
Make a pitcher
- 2 oz Honey Syrup
- 2 oz Passionfruit Syrup
- 8 oz (1 cup) Pueblo Viejo Blanco
- 4 oz Ghost Tequila
- 8 oz (1 cup) fresh lime juice
- 4 oz orange liqueur
For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.
Want to make it at scale?
Making one Passionfruit Margarita is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Margarita keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.
