I used to use the Trader Vic's passion syrup until they changed the recipe and put in plastic bottles....yuk!! Now I use Monin, as I was told that it is one of the last to still use real passion fruit. I have also heard good things about Torani as well. I haven't tried the finest call that everyone is raving about. I do however agree with Beachbum Berry from Sippin Safari that the Monin brand passion fruit is a little orangey tasting, but not much more than the Trader Vic's was. I found a way to remedy that by adding in the Tropical Fruit syrup also made by Monin...and to me this is what I imagine Fassionola to have tasted like. These 2 syrups combined in the Don the Beachcomber's Zombie in Intoxica make a far superior drink than the old Trader Vic's Passion Fruit Syrup ever did... IMHO.
