I've been doing some more research. Although the fruit on mine are edible you really need the Passiflora Edulis which has the same size flowers but coloured more white with a dark spot. They are the ones that produce the typical brown wrinkled fruit you see in the shops and are much more difficult to grow outdoors. The blue flowered ones are much more hardy but, the fruit isn't as nice. I will let you know.

This is what my passion fruit look like at the moment. Need more sun.

The Old Bengal Bar near Liverpool Street used to serve a spectacularly good gin & passion fruit cocktail called the Gin Spot Sour. They'll still serve it if you ask for it by name, but it wasn't on their revised cocktail menu last time I was there.
Passion fruit coulis would work very well for providing the sweetness as well as the fruit/flavouring, but you'd have to make sure you have enough sour (in the example above, the lemon juice) to balance it.

There is a self fertile edible variety, can't remember it's name but edible should get you there.

They really are stunning and I plan to get some but here in the North East it sounds we'd be lucky to ever see fruit.

The flowers are fairly spectacular, you may have seen them before and not realise what the plant was, maybe even thought it was some sort of clematis

Tequila might be a good shout, but again you'd need a good amount of lime juice.

I grow passion fruit in my back garden. Normally we only get three or four fruit and lots of flowers but because of the weather this summer we have loads of the things. Need another couple of weeks' sun to get them to ripen.
I reckon tequila might work (if you like tequila).

Depends on how big your glass is and how many spirits you have handy.....All of them

Definitely not gin.
First option would be vodka. Other choice would be champagne.
