Passionfruit + Gin
Not a natural pairing: they share little aroma and few recipes use both, which puts them in the top 49% of all ingredient pairs.
Do passionfruit and gin go together?
Not really. One recipe in our collection uses both, and they share 15 flavor molecules. That places them in the top 49% of every ingredient pair we score.
What they have in common
They overlap on 15 flavor molecules: 27% of gin's 56. Among the shared key aromas are 1-hexanol (resin, flower) and alpha-phellandrene (citrus, terpene). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell.
