Good — would be great if I had had better ingredients on hand. Using canned pineapple juice and tinned passionfruit isn't helpful here since the fruit should be the star. We added a squeeze of lemon to each drink to cut through some of the sugar/fake taste, which was nice.

Used Grand M. instead. No fresh fruit so 20ml Passion puree worked great.
