    Normally used to embellish my mai-tai. Tested on its own, just to see. This is a syrup with a strong clove and spice flavour. Limited interest for me as it's too sweet and I'm not a fan of liqueurs.

    Sure, it's not rum but a liqueur, so it's difficult to compare with rum, but this is definitely one of the best liqueurs I know. I just love every cocktail where this stuff goes in, it gives a great complexity.

    The classic alcoholic falernum and market leader. This one has a much more pronounced taste of lime and funk than many others and comparatively less direct presence of almonds. It can be a bewildering taste at first because it is purely crafted as a rum accompaniment. In cocktails this falernum makes itself clearly known as it has a certain searing quality, but this is entirely appropriate in tiki drinks that need muscle from the non-fruit ingredients to come through. A solid classic and the safe choice for your falernum rum cocktails.

    A must in a corn n oil cocktail , the bomb and tastes so devine. Obviously this is a mixing drink not something you drink on its own .. A cocktail bar must
