I love grogs and I had just made a fresh batch of Passionfruit cordial, so what better cocktail to showcase it, than a Trader Vic's Grog. I typically hate Passionfruit syrup in cocktails, but this cordial is amazing.

This sounds like a fantastic take on a classic! Do you happen to have the recipe for that house-made passionfruit cordial so others can try making it?
