We finally sat down and made a video about one of the earliest tropical cocktail ingredients: falernum. In this episode, we look at the murky history of this rum-based liqueur. From its beginning on the island of Barbados to the dominance of John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum during the 1930’s tiki craze, and through to the tropical cocktail resurgence of today. We also look at a few of the prominent newcomers to the falernum market that might deserve a spot behind your bar: Lucky Falernum, California Falernum, and Bitter Truth’s Golden Falernum.
After tasting all of these falernums, we put them head to head in a double cocktail showdown. The results were quite interesting!
