Last weekend, I bought a bottle of passion fruit jenever.
Normally, this tastes very sweet and has a nice fruity flavour.
But unfortunately, I had to buy a brand with which I'm not familiar with.
The taste of the alcohol is too present and it has an after taste that reminds me of medicine.
I don't want to throw away my bottle, but I won't drink it like that.
Can I add something that would make it better?
I don't want a cocktail (but 2 things together is de facto a cocktail I guess).
I was thinking of adding a bit of grenadine or (flavoured) sugar syrup.
Would this help or does anyone knows something that helps?

As alcohol boils away quite easily, perhaps you could try simmering it a while to remove some of the alchohol taste? Try it with a glassful first to see if it works.
You might try adding some passion fruit pulp (strained through a sieve to remove the pips) to increase the fruitiness.
