Ace, for the Corn 'N Oil you will probably be unimpressed if you use Taylor's Velvet or Fee Bros. Falernum. But if you have a good homemade Falernum with strong clove and ginger and lime zest notes a Corn 'N Oil made with 1:1 Cruzan Blackstrap and Falernum is one of the best things you'll ever drink.

Great suggestion! I've been making Falernum myself for a few years now, and bought a bottle of Taylor's Velvet Falernum once and it was very weak. I just can't see Taylor's making much impact in a modern cocktail, there was not enough lime/ginger/clove flavor at all, it was a sweet and very wimpy syrup.

So homemade Falernum it shall be!
