Product Details
John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum 11% Vol. 0.7 L is a classic Barbadian liqueur and cocktail modifier combining lime, almond, ginger and warming spice flavours. Sweet, aromatic and lightly alcoholic, it brings the distinctive tropical spice character found in many Caribbean and tiki-style cocktails.
Velvet Falernum works particularly well with rum, citrus and tropical fruit, but it also pairs beautifully with intensely herbal spirits such as Green Chartreuse. Because its flavour is concentrated, relatively small measures can add sweetness, spice and complexity to a cocktail.
Why We Chose It
John D. Taylor's Velvet Falernum is one of the best-known falernums for cocktail making and gives recipes a combination of citrus, spice and almond character that ordinary sugar syrup cannot provide. It is particularly useful for tropical cocktails and drinks that need both sweetness and aromatic complexity.
Best Cocktails with Velvet Falernum
- Chartreuse Swizzle — Green Chartreuse, pineapple, fresh lime and falernum create a bold herbal and tropical cocktail.
- Corn 'n' Oil — dark rum and falernum combine in a rich Barbadian classic with citrus and spice.
- Three Dots and a Dash — falernum contributes warming spice and sweetness alongside rum and citrus.
- Zombie — a small measure of falernum adds spice and complexity to this powerful tropical classic.
Drinkero Recommends
Use Velvet Falernum as both a sweetener and flavour modifier rather than treating it like a base spirit. For a Chartreuse Swizzle, use approximately 15 ml per cocktail to balance the herbal intensity of Green Chartreuse with pineapple and fresh lime.

FAQ
How does the cocktail builder work?
Choose a cocktail, select how many drinks you want to make, and Drinkero calculates the quantities you need. You can then review every ingredient, choose between available products and remove anything you already have.
Can I choose how many cocktails I want to make?
Yes. Choose your guest count and the ingredient quantities are automatically adjusted for you, so you do not need to calculate bottles, mixers or servings yourself.
Can I remove ingredients I already have?
Absolutely. Every component can be reviewed individually. If you already have an ingredient at home, simply leave it out and only order what you need.
Can I choose different brands or upgrade ingredients?
Where alternatives are available, you can choose the bottle or product you prefer. This lets you keep the classic recipe or upgrade individual ingredients to make the cocktail your way.
Are the cocktails delivered pre-mixed?
No. All ingredients are delivered in their original, sealed bottles and packaging — we never rebottle or pre-measure them. Drinkero calculates the quantities you need and selects enough products for your chosen number of cocktails. You mix and serve the drinks fresh at home.
What about fresh ingredients and ice?
Ingredients that are better bought fresh locally, such as fresh mint, limes or ice, are clearly marked in the builder. We still calculate how much you need, so you have a complete shopping and preparation guide.
