History

The Trader called it, "A robust libation with the opulence of 'down under'."

Victor Bergeron's 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide contains the basis for this recipe, indicated by the 'TV' logo signifying Trader Vic's creation. The recipe for PASSION FRUIT PUNCH is as follows: 1½ ounces passion fruit nectar and club soda. Instructions: Pour nectar over ice cubes in a tall glass. Fill glass with soda. Stir gently. Serve with straws. Bergeron notes, "If you have the occasion to buy some passion fruit nectar (we distribute it), you can be pretty well assured that any drink with it will be good. You can also use the nectar to make a fabulous pie – as you would lemon or orange meringue pie, but using the passion fruit nectar in place of the usual fruit juice." Another recipe, PASSION PUNCH, is also provided: Juice of 1 lime, 1 dash bitters, ¼ ounce brandy, 1½ ounces passion fruit nectar, 2 ounces gin. Instructions: Blend in electric drink mixer with 1 scoop shaved ice. Pour into individual scorpion bowl. Add ice cubes. Decorate with a gardenia.
