A really delightful equal-parts recipe from The Garret in NYC, presumably it’s a play on The White Lady or The Pink Lady? This is certainly the most recent of the three, and wow, it’s so great… where has it been all my life??
- 1 ½ oz mezcal
- 1 ½ oz Aperol
- 1 ½ oz John. D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum liqueur
- 1 ½ oz lime juice
Well, I can’t say I have the in my liquor cabinet. That’s a new ingredient I haven’t come across before. But I want to try this!
I hadn’t heard of it until I got a tiki cocktail book; it comes up a lot in that context! It’s a super syrupy, sweet, warm spiced liqueur. It’s really quite delicious!
Try a Corn N’ Oil my other goto falernum drink.
It’s good. Herbal, citrus, and sweet. I think of it as a caribbean version of sweet red vermouth. It has a similar use in cocktails.
