So we discover another reason to be jealous of California: Easy access to POG juice :>)

I was pretty happy with my POG mix using Goya Passion Fruit Cocktail (containing passion fruit concentrate) and Kern’s Guava Nectar (containing guava puree), both available at Publix in Florida. Unfortunately, both contain high fructose corn syrup. But combined with fresh OJ, you get a very rich and sweet juice that mimics what I remember from the Polynesian.

Of course, the purest products come from Hawaii. I'll keep looking in our gourmet and ethnic groceries, but I suspect you have to be on the West Coast to find easy access. However, you can find POG online if you want to pay the price. I haven't ordered any of these yet, but they look like the real deal brands (Hawaiian Sun, Aloha Maid):

And for pure passion fruit juice, I'll be trying this in the future:

I'm a big fan of their syrups, so I'm confident the juice is the same quality.
