Thanks Skip, good points. Last time I went to Frankie’s in Las Vegas they were making falernum by hand. And about 5 miles from me is a really nice little tiki bar that claims to make their own as well. This choice depends on a lot of factors. I thought about deleting my post in case it was douche-baggy. But hey, it’s truly my opinion, and I don’t look down on people, was just noticing how the lines are getting blurred which would impact those who don’t know more. Falernum, cinnamon syrup, Don’s Mix, and a number of others are subtle but major players in some outstanding cocktails. So I think my concern is justified and these sorts of things are worth talking about. I’m very pleased that cocktails have made such a nice resurgence. Let’s hope we never see a return to the dark days of the 70’s and 80’s again.
