I have posted this before, in my opinion the closest thing to Fashionola that is still on the market is Pat O'Brians Hurricane mix.

It looks and tastes like concentrated red Hawaiian punch, and it lasts forever in the refrigerator.

My opinion.. (yes I had the originals, yes I have made my closest approximation).. Any fruit punch syrup should work.
Pat O'Brians Hurricane mix is a good substitute, fruit punch flavored snow cone syrup works, and I believe Toriani fruit punch syrup would work.

If you want Genuine Hawaiian Punch syrup, good news and bad. It IS still commercially available. But it seems to only be sold in 5 gallon soda fountain
sized boxes.

I did have issues finding the Falernum, but I finally did manage. The search for Lemon Hart 151 was a dead end. Gosling 151 made an EXCELLENT substitute.

And the small SMALL dash of Herbsaint completes the "What did I just do to myself?" effect of legend. Also not easy to find.
