In my meaningless opinion (granted I am no connoisueur)....Contreau or Triple Sec? The difference is like night and day. Go with the Contreau whenever called for. Falernum? We make our own here but it is readily available from DaVinci online. Good grenadine? Trader Vic's or Angustora. NOT Roses. Lemongrass cordial? I haven't heard of it. Maraschino Liqueur? Heering makes a cherry liqueur that is well crafted, 18.00, in stock in most liquor stores, and makes wonderful cocktails. Orgeat? Torani makes a good one (available at Bruno's or Cost Plus World Market)or just order from Trader Vic's. Passionfruit juice? We get a concentrate from a Cisco Foods rep friend of mine. Passionfruit syrup? Torani (what we have and also contains real passionfruit) or Trader Vic's. Pernod? little teeny bottle if you can find it. I make my own Pimento liqueur here...we bottle and label it as Tres Canones (Three Cannons). It ain't Wray and Nephew, but it's here at my fingertips, which is better than the latter.
