That differentiation will continue to bug me forever as Martin Cate thinks Taylor's is spot on, and Jeff Berry suggests a more syrupy solution. Do you think there'd be a drop in quality if I used Taylor's in my tribute drinks? Since making my own homemade falernum I've stopped using Fees and Velvet altogether and the homemade sings in the Mai Kai tribute recipes. I'd be surprised if Mai Kai used a pre-made falernum but also curious which style they do use.
