Other Martini Variations:

I tried to keep this passion fruit martini recipe pretty simple to allow the passion fruit to shine however, if you like your martinis with a twist or a bit sweeter, here are some other options:

Simple syrup, agave, sugar, honey- These will sweeten up your martini and can be added to your liking.
Other flavored vodkas- Vanilla vodka (in place of the extract), pineapple or coconut flavored vodka would be great additions too. Keep in mind these are also sweeter.
Prosecco- A splash is commonly added AFTER shaking your martini. Simply add a splash on top of your martini for a bubbly finish. If you love champagne, you will love this addition!
Fresh basil or mint- Fresh herbs add a brightness and pop of color to any cocktail. These would be my go-to herbs.
Egg white- Adding an egg white to your shaker will give your martini a beautiful white, frothy finish while adding a silky texture. Learn how to how to add egg whites properly to cocktails.
