Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this falernum syrup unique for tiki cocktails?
Developed in collaboration with bartender Anders Erickson, this falernum syrup features freshly sourced lime, real ginger juice, baking spices, almond, and vanilla, delivering an authentic Caribbean profile for home cocktails.
Can I substitute falernum syrup for Velvet Falernum liqueur?
Yes. Use a 1:1 ratio, but note this syrup is non-alcoholic. For spirit-forward drinks, adjust your recipe to account for lower ABV while maintaining flavor balance.
How is falernum different from orgeat?
Falernum blends citrus, spice, and almond notes, whereas orgeat is primarily almond and floral with no added spice or citrus. Substituting one for the other will noticeably change the tiki flavor profile.
How much falernum syrup should I use per drink?
Start with 0.5oz per cocktail or mocktail; adjust for taste. Each 12oz bottle yields approximately 24 servings.
Is this syrup suitable for vegans and people with nut allergies?
This falernum syrup is vegan but contains almond. Always check the ingredient list if you have a nut allergy.
