Passion Fruit Punch (Poncha Maracujá) image

This punch is made with cachaça, the national spirit of Brazil, made from fermented sugar cane juice. Increased interest in the liquor, and Latin American cuisine, has brought several brands to American bars and liquor stores. Use the one you can find. And drink slowly. It's strong.
