Passoa Liqueur (70cl , 17%)
Passoa is a liqueur of exotic passion fruits. Its delicious taste is enjoyed the world over, being the no 1 liqueur in Puerto Rico, no 2 in Holland and no3 in Belgium. The Passion fruit was first discovered in South America, during the colonisation by Spanish missionaries in the 1500s. They first noticed the amazing flowers of the fruit in the jungle. Nobody knows exactly why it became known as the Passion fruit. Was it because the crown-like flower reminded people of the thornbush of Christ’s Passion – Or because of its supposed qualities as an aphrodisiac?
Passoã is a popular, passion fruit-flavored liqueur made with natural passion fruit juice from Brazil. It is known for its vibrant red color and distinctive opaque black bottle and is a fundamental ingredient in many cocktails, most notably the Pornstar Martini.
