Trader Vic's Syrups... - Tiki Drinks and Food

DC Double Crown Tiki Centralite Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 88	DC Double Crown Posted posted on Sun, Nov 17, 2002 5:59 PM I am enjoying a cocktail as I type this (I don't know what it is - I winged it. I used OJ, Meyers rum, Bacardi rum, Trader Vics Coco Creme, and Grenadine - any idea what this would be?). Anyway, I keep all of my Trader Vic's syrups in the refridgerator and they have all solidified somewhat. How long can you keep these in a refridgerator? I have had these a year and they still taste fine to me. I would assume that unless they change color or look funny they're safe to use, although I would think at some point they'd start to taste weird. Any experience with these in regard to how long they keep? Sean

Other than those, it's up to you. I keep most syrups in the fridge because I have more space in the fridge than behind my bar and it might help them last longer. My old bottle of Falernum has a large lump in the bottom from being in the fridge - it seems to taste fine though.
