Passoã Liqueur
Created in 1985, Passoã is a key passion fruit-flavoured liqueur ingredient for cocktails. Thanks to its iconic black bottle and its red colour, the liqueur quickly became successful worldwide. With its passionfruit taste, Passoã is an easy-going alcohol, giving exceptional capability of blending with hard and soft drinks: simply enjoyed with tonic, or in a more sophisticated cocktail like the Porn Star Martini.
