Reynolds Passion Fruit Syrup this weekend and discovered that I actually do have a bottle of their Falernum as well, and it appears I have used it a time or two. Odd that I didn't remember that. So I had a little taste. Compared to the Taylor's Velvet, B.G. Reynolds is a bit sweeter, and quite a bit spicier. Definitely darker and thicker too. I can certainly see where it would be great in some of the heartier cocktail recipes. But I'll stick to Taylor's for my Saturns and other lighter drinks. Note: after a tiny taste of the B.G. Reynolds Falernum, I put that on my French toast instead of the Passion Fruit I was going to use. Yummm!
