But, although the Grog Log is huge seller on Amazon, I don't know that there is a real market for this idea. I used to think that. But then, last week a liquor store employee told me that I was the third person who had asked for Velvet falernum that day. He was amazed, because he thought he was the only one who used falernum in drinks. While vintage cocktails are a passion for some of us, it's clear that they are becoming a fad for many beyond the circle of dedicated tikiphiles.
