Oh, just noticed the updated shopping list! Grenadine, I’ll need to get it! And is it passion fruit syrup or just fresh passion fruit pulp, Richard?

Ah - I have been tinkering! You can make the cocktail either way; the trad recipe is syrup (I’ll include that) but after a bit of experimenting I came to the conclusion that fresh is best.

went shopping - found this at milroysofsoho.com for 43.95 - bottle of ARV plus freebies

A delicious chilli liqueur from Ancho Reyes, this time with green chillies. This variant of the traditional recipe from Puebla provides an earthy, fresher tone to it's original ancho bottling. This vegetal flavour profile lends itself to being used in gin-based cocktails as well as tequila-based!
