Passion fruit strongly influences this fruity cocktail with cherry, grapefruit and lemon built over a solid cognac and apple brandy base.

Comments & Discussion

Andrew Willis
Use a passion fruit syrup (10 mL) as a substitute for the fresh fruit, and found it too sweet. Threw in some Bob's Vanilla Bitters as well as some Saline Solution to help offset. Works out!
