Below is the link to the only discussion on this ingredient I can find. As some of you may know, this stuff shows up in Don Beach's recipes frequently. In one of his books it is recommended that one substitute fruit punch for it. I cannot believe this to be an accurate substitution as most recipes call for a scant 1/4 ounce of it.

There is no way that a 1/4 oz of Hawaiian Punch or some such stuff is going to make enough of a difference in a drink with three ounces of other pure and likely fresh squeezed fruit juices.

So, this has got to be a concentrated syrup or a complex flavoring if such a little bit can offer a true addition to the balance and flavor profile of a cocktail.

I'd like to find a recipe for this stuff. At least an old bottle that has the company name and ingredients list. A Google search proves fairly fruitless (Pun? What pun?).

Read on and let me know if you find anything helpful:
