Listing description
Falernum is a sweet syrup used in Caribbean and tropical drinks. It contains
flavors of almond, ginger and/or cloves, and lime, and
sometimes vanilla or allspice. It is used
in cocktails in a
manner similar to orgeat syrup or can be drunk on the rocks.
Detailed description
The consistency is thick, the color can be white to
light amber, and it may be clear or translucent.
Some reports have the origination of falernum dated
back to the 18th century.
In the literary magazine All the Year Round, owned by Charles Dickens, Jr. at the time, an unnamed author wrote of falernum in 1892,
describing it as "a curious liqueur composed from rum and
lime-juice." [2]
The earliest known reference in bar manuals seems to
be the 1930s. One producer (see below) claims his recipe to date to 1890,
winning awards as early as 1923. Famous drinks using falernum include:
Fee Brothers produces a nonalcoholic version, and
John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum is an alcoholic version available in the
United States. The Bitter Truth released their
Golden Falernum in 2011, available in Europe, USA and in Asia.
