Trader, wow, finally a passion syrup by someone that knows what we need!

Question-what's the shelf life or refrigerated life of your bottle of syrup?

Hi rt_tiki,

my syrup actually does contain a limited amount of pulp, but it's a light pulp and enough for texture, not flossing your teeth. Shelf life is 6 months unopened, refrigerated and open, a good month or so. No preservatives are artificial ingredients. Heck, the only things in there are sugar, water, passion fruit concentrate (passion fruit juice boiled down) and a bit of guar gum to keep it from separating.

Some folks have taken to adding a wee bit of high proof rum to it to improve opened shelf-life. But you have to be wary when serving as non-alcoholic then.

Anyhow, the passion fruit is available, and is damned delicious if I do say so myself. I put it out there because I couldn't find good stuff myself, and figured someone has to, so why not me? It's not available in Chicago except for online (available here), but if you wanted to stop by Drinks over Dearborn and poke Kyle in the ribs, I'm sure he'd carry them.
