Aloha Tiki Centralites! This thread goes back quite a ways but I stumbled across it, read it all, and didn't see mention of the recipe I'm using. I'm currently working (and drinking) my way through Smuggler's Cove, Exotic Cocktails, Rum and the Cult of Tiki (Cate, Ten Speed Press, 2016) and they use Funkin Passion Fruit purée (funkinusa.com) and 2:1 simple syrup to make SC Passion Fruit Syrup. I have made it and used it in several drinks, my favorite so far being the Hurricane ( fresh lemon juice btw). The book says it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. I tried to use it all up but wasn't able to so I kept it in my fridge a little longer. Even after 2 weeks it tasted and smelled just as good as day 1 and I didn't need to stretch it further than that. It was tart, delicious and had a very smooth mouth feel. I froze the other half Mylar bag of purée and expect to whip up another batch this weekend. It has been in my freezer for about 3 weeks. I will let you know how this next batch turns out. |
