I tried to search for this, and didn't see much in the way of discussion of this product.

I noticed that one recipe in Smuggler's Cove (The Swizzle Francais) uses it. I was at my local store yesterday and noticed that they actually carry that product. It's about $10. I don't mind paying $10 for the passion fruit, falernum, or orgeat syrups as they actually aren't that cheap to make. But this seems like quite a bit to spend on basically a simple syrup.

The website and the bottle are a little lacking about what flavors are actually in it (I believe the ingredient list is natural aromas). The website implies clove, vanilla, and cinnamon. Given that I have cinnamon syrup and vanilla syrup, I wonder if just mixing those would be close. Of course it is made from the sugar cane in a different way so it might have some other flavors.

Has anyone bought this? Is it worth keeping around?
