History

Adapted from a recipe in Victor Bergeron's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide. The recipe is accompanied by the 'TV' logo indicating that Trader Vic created it.

PASSION FRUIT PUNCH
1½ ounces passion fruit nectar
Club soda
Pour nectar over ice cubes in a tall glass. Fill glass with soda. Stir gently. Serve with straws.

If you have the occasion to buy some passion fruit nectar (we distribute it), you can be pretty well assured that any drink with it will be good. You can also use the nectar to make a fabulous pie – as you would lemon or orange meringue pie, but using the passion fruit nectar in place of the usual fruit juice.

PASSION PUNCH
Juice of 1 lime
1 dash bitters
¼ ounce brandy
1½ ounces passion fruit nectar
2 ounces gin
Blend in electric drink mixer with 1 scoop shaved ice. Pour into individual scorpion bowl. Add ice cubes. Decorate with a gardenia.

Harry Craddock, 1930

Review

To quote the Trader, "A robust libation with the opulence of 'down under'."

I've substituted Angostura bitter by Pepper bitter and the flavor was amazing

Nice "tropical" drink. I did not have fresh passion fruit on hand. After some research, there is approximately 1 oz/30 ml juice per passion fruit. I used a "passion fruit cocktail" (Goya brand) which is passion fruit juice from concentrate, water and sugar. So I ended up using 1 oz/30 ml passion fruit juice and because of the sugar in the juice, I cut the rich syrup to 1/4 oz/7.5 ml Turned out very well. Passion fruit forward with a gin and citrus finish.
