Toasted almond, lime peel, cloves and ginger make up the aromatic ingredients in Falernum, a little known Caribbean liqueur. The ingredients are macerated in over-proof white rum (69 proof) and it's so delicious. I'm testing recipes for our Tiki themed event Secret Supper Soiree and this one is a
hit with the chef team, so I thought I'd post the recipe for you. It's very easy to infuse your own liqueurs or bitters, you just grab the ingredients, smash them up and let them soak 24 hours in alcohol, strain and it's ready to mix. And you feel like a bootlegger in BC too, you have to ask for the over-proof rum at BC liquor stores. They go into the back and get it for you... like it's a rattle snake or something, very strange.
The cocktail I created for the event is called a Nuclear Sunset because the falernum turns everything green and the cocktail is mixed with lime, mandarin and pineapple juice. It reminds me of sunshine on this grey Tuesday.
