Passoã Passion Fruit Liqueur

Passoã is a renowned passion fruit liqueur recognized worldwide for its distinctive black bottle and vibrant red liquid. Originally created in 1986 by Cointreau, the brand was born from a master distiller's trip to Brazil in search of a specific variety of passion fruit. Since its inception, the liqueur has become a staple in cocktail culture, most notably as a fundamental ingredient in the popular Pornstar Martini. While the brand has global distribution, its manufacturing is primarily centered in France, maintaining the quality standards established by its original creators.

In terms of ownership, the brand underwent a significant transition when Rémy Cointreau entered into a joint venture with Lucas Bols in 2016. By late 2020, Lucas Bols fully acquired the brand, becoming its ultimate owner. Lucas Bols, headquartered in the Netherlands, is one of the world's oldest distilled spirit brands, managing a diverse portfolio of liqueurs and spirits. This ownership ensures that while the product's French origins and manufacturing are preserved, its marketing and global footprint are managed by a Dutch beverage powerhouse.
