I thought about putting together a "Grog Log" package a few years ago to sell on Ebay as a sort of "stuff you need and probably don't have, in order to make the drinks in The Bum's books." I would include:

Falernum
Orgeat
Pimento Liqueur
Bitters (maybe)
simple syrup
cinnamon infused syrup
coconut snow powder
pernod

Something like that. But, although the Grog Log is huge seller on Amazon, I don't know that there is a real market for this idea. It could be that people get the books and are daunted and don't try to make the drinks because they don't have these things. I just know the people on the Grogalizer are not that market and those actively using it are not that plentiful. So, you'd have to figure out what the market really is.

I also put links to online retailers for the hard to find items on the Grogalizer.

And, you'd probably get in trouble from the revenuers over selling liqueur online.

Seriously though, Swank, that's a good idea. I just had to order orgeat and falernum online--hard to find in these parts. I can find (or make) the rest but it would still be easier to just buy the whole 'mixology kit'.
