Passoã
Passoã is a passion-fruit liqueur made in France, with passion fruit being the main ingredient. Invented in 1985, the brand was owned by Rémy Cointreau group.[1] In December 2016 Passoã SAS was established as a result of a joint venture between Lucas Bols and Rémy Cointreau. The product was launched in 1986 in the European market and in 1994 worldwide, and has been a nationally best-selling liqueur in several national markets, including Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and Belgium.[2]
The liqueur, in the form of a red liquid, comes in a black bottle and has an alcohol volume of 14.9 to 20% - depending on the country. The original version of Passoã contains passion-fruit juice from Brazil. Passoã has also developed ready-to-serve cocktails: Cosmopolitan, Caipirinha and Zombie fire.[3] The most popular cocktail made with Passoã is the Porn Star Martini, with vanilla vodka and prosecco on the side. One can also pair Passoã with water or with tonic.
