Great to read your thoughts Ace. I recently discovered that my Paul Clarke #9 had gone bad from using lime juice so I was searching his #10 and I found this list of falernums:

And that's where I found the above recipe.

I think I'll give Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Falernum a shot soon but maybe halve the recipe. I was thinking of using Bacardi 8 in place of the Havana Club Especial

I totally agree with you on the microplane grater, it made quick work when I made my first falernum.

I do wonder how well it would work in vintage cocktails because of the orgeat and vanilla. Also, with the anise, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice, it almost seems like an all-in-one Don's mix. Might be really useful in high volume bar setting

I completely agree with you on the many falernums, all good
