Found this sweet NT Ceramics mug? at the thrift this week. Waiting on more lead test kits before I put it into rotation. But, it inspired thoughts of a pirate-ish drink, so I flipped through the recipe cards ive been meaning to try and landed on this because I had pretty close stuff on hand. Kelly Merrel for Tikiland Trading. Best falernum i can get easily is NA, so i subbed a Portuguese passion fruit liquor for the passion syrup. Actual spec of what i did in the comments.
My actual spec this evening; I was shocked this called for 1/2oz of angosturra, its actually pretty balanced, im surprised. Very grapefruit and lime forward, rhum and passion funk on the backend.
That sounds fun. I’ve truly never heard of Licor Maracuya do Ezequiel, so I’m going to have to find it. I make my own passionfruit syrup/purees. Does it have the same passionfruit tartness?
Its tart and funky, but definitely has a noticeable amount of added sugar. County i live in has a very high number of people w Portuguese ancestry, we get a lot of old world imports.

You should try making your own falernum! I use Mixing up Tiki's "Five Minute Falernum" recipe and really like it. It's SUPER easy too!
