I don't know, but I doubt they'd tell me if I asked - I'm not certain that they make their own, they may use Fee's - I was once introduced to the owner of Fee's there, and I know they use many Fee's bitters (but then, Zig Zag carries innumerable bitters, you name it, they probably have it, plus some homemade ones). They make a few things, some (but not all) of which they can't easily buy, specifically pimento dram, Swedish Punsch, hibiscus liqueur, and habanero tequila and vodka, but I'm not certain they make their falernum. Whatever it is, it's wonderful, I've tasted it straight.

Either way, I'm going back down there tonight, and I'll ask. Gonna order another of this same drink; every time they serve me something I really love, be it classic or invented, I have the tender write it down. Got a stack of cardboard coasters with recipes on 'em now; the stack in front of me has the Fogcutter, Vicious Virgin, Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (incredible early Vic drink), Coin Toss, Theresa No. 2, Yokohama Romance, and stuff invented on-demand including the Honey Badger, Left Hand Right Hand, and others that still need names.
