    Two year late here, but anyway: I made my own Fassionola. A little more fuss than other flavoured syrups, but completely manageable. I combine blueberries, diced mango, strawberries, pineapple juice, a couple of teaspoons of hibiscus syrup and cane sugar and let that sit overnight with a couple of stirrings once in a while. Then strain it and add passion fruit puré. Done. Works wonder in a Hurricane.

  • @lrvogt1257

    So many hurricane recipes. I haven’t had access to fassionola but it is Passionfruit forward so I’ve just used Passionfruit purée and add a touch of grenadine for color. I do a 50/50 mix of Appleton 12 and Pusser’s Gunpowder Proof. I find Smith & Cross to be kind of bitter but I can see how that might work in this.

    Fassionola is an awesome ingredient. I really love the Cocktail & Sons but it is only available a couple times a year in small batches. The fassionola that is available these days from BGR, Cocktail & Sons, etc, is likely quite a bit better than that used in the 30s and 40s. That stuff was described as being very much like Hawaiian Punch flavor, super sweet and artificial. I mean, that also sounds delicious in a gross way, but this new stuff is even better and without the gross part.
