Absolutely delightful!!! 🤩 I just tried this and it was so refreshing and light! The passion fruit and lime are a perfect combo with the whiskey. I love the fizzy touch the soda adds! My freinds were so impressed! Definitely a keeper in my cocktail rotation! 🍹 Cheers!

Just whipped this up and the balance is spot on. The passion fruit and lime really elevate the whisky, with the soda water giving it a refreshing finish. Shaking it with ice before topping up definitely enhances its chill factor. I garnished mine with mint—perfect touch!
