So, new poster here, but wanted to add my very first falernum recipe that I just bottled up. I used the 'base' recipe from Colonel Tiki's site, but added zest of 6 limes instead of 9, 1 Tsp of the smaller greenish cardamom seeds, toasted the almonds, one cinnamon stick, and split a vanilla bean, and ginger. All with the Lemon Hart rum. While The Colonel's recipe calls for lime juice as part of the finishing step, why are some saying not to use it? I like the suggestion of just adding the fresh at the time of the mixing, so, just curious.

I'll let know know how it turns out, but I also have to say I've never had a drink with falernum in it...so, nothing to base it on. Kinda fun though!!
