Arriano,

I was looking at old Beachcomber menus the other day online and in some of the Beachbum's books and in the descriptions for certain recipes there are direct references to Fassionola.

Now there are these references and then the bum list the drink recipe clearly substituting passion fruit syrup for fassionola.

Which in all actuality is fine.

But there is clear proof out there that back in the day Donn used Fassionola as an ingredient in his drinks, can't say the same of Vic or Mai Kai or others of course.

And I realize that many have moved on to just using passion fruit syrup, but if you can track down a bottle of the stuff, it does provide a unique flavor.

Have a good weekend all!
