Fassionola? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Apparently they couldn't sell the stuff, and their distributor stopped carrying it. Maybe if enough TC'ers request it, they'll try and put it back on the shelves. On a side note, there is a sidebar in the Beachcomber book that mentions substituting Hawaiian Punch for Fassionola if you don't have any on hand. Al, is this a feasible substitution? Oh, the Hi-Times website is: http://www.hitimewine.com. They do mail order. If you live out-of-state there's no sales tax.
