Does anyone know of a drink recipe that uses the GREEN fassionola? There are a few that use the red, including Pi Yi, Cobra's Fang and Hurricane, but I can't find anything that ever used the green. Of course I will eventually invent one myself, but just curious if green fassionola was ever actually used for anything.

Though I've never seen recipes that specifically call for it, I'm told the Tiki-Ti uses green fassionola. Perhaps someone has some Tiki Ti tributes floating around.

Re the new BG Reynolds product, it gets a thumbs-up from me. I haven't posted about it yet, but I'm prepared to say it's an acceptable substitute for Jonathan English in any of my Mai-Kai recipes. It's not as intense in color or flavor, but it's closer than any other product on the market.

From what I recall, the Sumatra Kula makes use of what I was told was "green passionfruit", which could be green fassionola. When they open up again I'll go order one and try to watch closely while they make it to see what the bottle looks like.
