Wikipedia

  1. Falernum

    Falernum (pronounced fə-LUR-nəm) is either an 11% ABV syrup liqueur or a nonalcoholic syrup from the Caribbean. It is best known for its use in tropical drinks. It contains flavors of ginger, lime, and almond, and frequently cloves or allspice. It may be thought of as a spicier version of orgeat syrup. The form can be alcoholic (syrup liqueur) or nonalcoholic (syrup). Versions with alcohol are generally lower in proof (≅15 ABV), adding rum and emphasizing the clove, ginger, or allspice flavoring aspects for use in mixing cocktails, typically tropical or tiki drinks. It is also enjoyed on the rocks. Depending on sugar content, the consistency is often thick and is therefore sometimes referred to as "velvet falernum" because of the feeling it leaves on one's tongue. Brands vary. The color can be white to light amber, and it may be clear or translucent.

  1. Falernum

    Falernum is a sweet syrup used in Caribbean and tropical drinks. It contains flavors of almond, ginger and/or cloves, and lime, and sometimes vanilla or allspice. It is used in cocktails in a manner similar to orgeat syrup or drunk on the rocks. The syrup form can be alcoholic or nonalcoholic. The consistency is thick, the color can be white to light amber, and it may be clear or translucent. Falernum owes its name to the renowned ancient Roman wine falernian, known as falernum in Latin. Some reports have the origination of falernum dated back to the 18th century, but the earliest known reference in bar manuals seems to be the 1930s. One producer claims his recipe to date to 1890, winning awards as early as 1923. Famous drinks using falernum include: ⁕Jet Pilot ⁕Bermuda Rum Swizzle ⁕Don the Beachcomber's Zombie and perhaps Mai Tai ⁕Captain's Blood Cocktail ⁕Frosty Dawn ⁕Jamaican Coke ⁕Key Cocktail ⁕Port Antonio Cocktail ⁕Royal Bermuda Cocktail ⁕Corn N' Oil ⁕some Rum Collins variations ⁕White Lion ⁕Zombie ⁕Ranglum ⁕Tough Cookie ⁕Liam Neeson Fee Brothers produces a nonalcoholic version, and John D.
