This punch is made with cachaça, the national spirit of Brazil, made from fermented sugar cane juice. Increased interest in the liquor, and Latin American cuisine, has brought several brands to American bars and liquor stores. Use the one you can find. And drink slowly. It’s strong. —Florence Fabricant

This sounds amazing. I will make it as soon as I can locate some cachaca (not easy in Ontario, where the government controls all liquor sales). Here's a neat trick my mother-in-law taught me. When you need a quantity of passionfruit juice, go to a Mexican or Hispanic market and get frozen passionfruit. It is very convenient and much cheaper than buying the fresh fruit.

I might have misread but this does not work with passion fruit puree.

it was great --I added 1/2 oz of simple syrup and it was perfect
