I found Ceres brand tropical fruit juice blends (imported from South Africa) in my local Publix yesterday, and I took some photos for those who may not have seen this product. In addition to Mango, Passion Fruit, and Papaya, they have a few other juices, and from the one carton I opened and taste-tested, the quality is quite good. I haven't tested these with cocktails yet.

I bought a few to take home and test. Yes, they are juice BLENDS, but only because they use pear juice instead of sugar syrup as a diluent. Without a diluent, the juice would not be liquid enough to be sold as a "juice." Their choice of using pear juice (my wild guess here) is because it acts as both a sweetener and it's not considered unhealthy in the same manner that sugar syrup or high fructose corn syrup would be. From their web site, they have a huge number of North American distributors -- grocers and liquor stores. Take a look at this:

Here are photos of the Mango, Passion Fruit, and Papaya juice cartons -- both front view, and ingredients. I hope this is helpful.
