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.

Victor Kremer started making Passionola around 1916, and by the 1940s it was nationally advertised and distributed by Morgan and Sampson. Patrick Rose's Fassionola came around after Passionola — but when? Stay tuned. It's a new project we're researching...

Fred Wilke, manager of Kitty Davis's Airliner club in Miami Beach got the distribution rights and used both red and green Passionola in their signature drinks. Here are two. The Cooler used green, but not really sure of the pineapple measurement, THAT is estimated. We need taste-testers! Mahalo, Martin.
