The Roof Raiser (1943) featuring Passionola, the trademark gold passion fruit cocktail syrup made in small batches in San Diego by the fine folks behind "Fassionola: The Torrid Story of Cocktails' Most Mysterious Ingredient" (2024, Classic San Diego Books). It's far and away the next best thing to a homemade syrup. Thanks to barman extraordinaire Doc Parks for resurrecting the historic recipe with authors Gregorio Pantoja and Martin S. Lindsay. I hear they might have a surprise for us at Tiki Oasis! Pick up the syrup and the book (featuring a detailed history and tons of recipes) at Passionola.com and Fassionola.com ...
