How do I store leftover Tropical Vanilla Passionfruit Martini?
Refrigerate any leftover tropical vanilla passionfruit martini in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
Can I substitute ingredients in Tropical Vanilla Passionfruit Martini?
