There is a certain cocktail, in this city of already o so many cocktails, that is becoming quite popular. I had heard about it from several different sources, and last week while out to lunch with my mom, I decided to try it. I was instantly smitten. The tropical combination of lime juice, rum, and the "secret ingredient" blended together so intimately that was thus bound to determine how to make one for myself at home. A little research and a few attempts later, I arrived at this:
Fill a collins glass (pint glass if you don't have a collins glass) with some ice, then pour in the following.
2 shots of New Orleans Rum (the original uses the white variety, but you have my permission to use the gold type).
½ shot Lime Juice
¾ shot Falernum (Fee Brothers can be acquired at Martin Wine Cellar. This is my prefered falernum.)
½ shot or less grenadine
2 dashes Peychaud’s aromatic bitters
Next, top off the glass with club soda. stir with a swizzle stick. enjoy.
Forgive me Adelaide.

Velvet Falernum is available again in Louisiana, now distributed through International Wine & Spirits (they also now have Creme de Violette and Batavia Arrack).
Just bought some Velvet Falernum at Dorignac's. First time I've seen it there. Thanks for posting the recipe.
