This cocktail is sweet and fragrant but fun. We like it with White Zinfandel, but feel free to substitute a drier pink or white wine. If you don't have passion fruit syrup, substitute passion fruit juice plus simple syrup to taste.

It's adapted from Stuart Wilson's The Bartender's Guide to Cocktails and Mixed Drinks.
