Solero Cocktail Ingredients

Creating a Solero cocktail doesn’t require a long list of exotic ingredients. In fact, you can usually whip one up with items easily found at your local grocery or liquor store. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Vodka: The base spirit for our cocktail, adding that necessary kick.
• Passoã: A passionfruit liqueur that brings tropical sweetness to the mix.
• Orange Juice: Adds tanginess and complements the passionfruit flavor.
• Cream: Provides the velvety smoothness that sets this drink apart.
• Ice: To chill and dilute the cocktail just enough to make it sippable.

Vodka is a commonly used base for many cocktails due to its neutral flavor, but it’s not absolutely necessary. You can substitute it with other spirits depending on your taste preference. Here are some options:

1. Gin: For a more aromatic and botanical kick.
2. White Rum: To enhance the tropical vibe of the cocktail.

• Orange Juice: 1.5 shots (45ml)
