I tried one last night, using Passion Fruit juice and blending it with 8 oz of ice. The taste was good, but it seemed a little flat, lacking in body (as is the case with many drinks that have a lot of OJ). I am tempted to suggest passion fruit syrup instead of juice but I think that might make it too sweet. This drink might be better if it's not blended with the ice but shaken with cubes. Next time I try it I might also switch out grapefruit for the orange, add a little more lime, and use the PF syrup. Different drink, but it should be good.
