A quick Google search showed a number of recipes for POG as well as sources for POG. Also, Wikipedia (which, as we all know, is always correct, heh!) has the not-so-interesting history of the origin of the mix.

Most interesting to me was that Albertson's stores may carry it. Amazon may have it in 12-packs of concentrate. AmazonFresh doesn't serve my area, but if they serve yours, then you may have an easy supply available. Also, POG is attainable at home in reasonable quantities if you can find the ingredients which are either 1) authentic, or 2) reasonably good substitutions.

There are places in the country where it may be a crap shoot... Pure passion fruit and guava juices are a challenge in my part of the country. The adulterated "nectars," however, are everywhere. I will begin looking at any Albertsons stores when I travel, assuming they haven't been bought up and re-branded since the article I saw online was written.

There will come a time when I will want POG in my bar. I'm sure it will be a pain in the ass, but oftentimes that's part of the fun of craving authentic cocktails.
