There was no passion fruit of any kind, anywhere. Not even Monin syrup. Apparently we're a passionless society. It must be a regional ingredient. I can find the juice and the fruit out here. If you ask a grocery store to carry it they might. I'm surprised at what Target has started carrying after I asked. According to the Los Angeles Times a passion fruit vine will grow like a weed out here once it gets established. They have very beautiful and alien looking flowers. It would add a very tropical element to a garden if you can control its growth. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/home_blog/2012/05/passion-fruit.html
