About the Bar: When the seeds of passion fruit first came to Hawaiʻi from Australia in 1880, they were planted in the East Maui district of Lilikoʻi and the name stuck. Inside, the fruit is filled with an aromatic mass of juicy pulp and edible seeds. The juice, with its distinct tangy flavor, is a popular ingredient in Hawaiian cuisine, used to make sauce, candy, ice cream, tea, or in cocktails and shave ice.
