Some good points about the difference between the red and gold fassionola. I've been using the red in my Mai-Kai recipes that call for a boost of color and fruit flavor. I've had some confirmation that they do indeed use something similar there behind the bar in the same drinks (Cobra's Kiss, Special Reserve Daiquiri, et al.)

There are quite a few other drinks that feature a distinctive passion fruit syrup. But the color of these is not as noticeably red, so I always assumed it was a more traditional passion fruit syrup. Again, it's a unique syrup concoction of some sort, so perhaps it's a descendant or variation of gold fassionola. I'll have to pick up a bottle and compare. I've never truly been able to duplicate flavor of The Mai-Kai's passion fruit syrup.
