Torani Passionfruit Syrup: Somewhat thin, somewhat yellow. Very sweet, with clean, reasonably-believable passionfruit flavor. Could use some more acid and more intensity. 19g sugar per 30ml serving.
Monin Passionfruit Syrup: Much thicker and more syrupy. Harsh, chemical, acrid flavor bears no resemblance to any passionfruit I ever ate. Tastes like the outflow of an industrial flavor plant waste line. Still undrinkable when diluted with water and ice. DNPIM. 25g sugar per 30ml serving.

How right you are! I eat a fair bit of maracuja (passionfruit) when in Brazil these days. Honestly I think the right thing to do is buy it fresh and can/jar it. I brought back some jackfruit and some cashew fruit preservatives, and they make fantastic caipirinhas when properly drained. I expect the fluid remainder would work fine as a syrup for shave ice, italian soda or what have you.
