Anita,

I was looking through all my regular blogs and came upon this recipe. Immediately I dug out the shaker (ok, that’s a lie, it was on the counter lovingly being used) and dropped in the gin and grand marnier. Then I questioned my knowledge… was it passion fruit juice or syrup? Checking the recipe I confirmed that I was about to ruin the drink with syrup. I searched for the juice and found none!

So I decided to use the base and make up a completely new drink. It actually turned out v-good. I was surprised.

1 1/2oz gin (used Plymouth)
3/4oz grand marnier (used Harlequin)
1/2oz lime juice
1/4oz falernum #8
1 dash Angostura bitters

As a fan of both gin and passionfruit (I’ll go with the Grand Marnier on this occasion), I’m going to have to give this one a go…

This sounds terrific. My better half is not much of a cocktail person either, but he might just like this since he is fond of Grand Marnier and, having grown up in Hawaii, really loves passion fruit anything. I’ll give it a try because the worst that can happen is that I would have to drink his!
I also wanted to say that I appreciated your poultry love story and its photos.

I’m not much of a cocktail girl, but that one looks good!

BTW, I’m giving you the E for Excellent award!

Oh, what a gorgeous martini glass! Romantic indeed.

Sounds to me like Princess Marina would need more than one of these to get through the first few weeks of wedded bliss…
