This is one awesome cocktail! Created by Marco Dionysos, this fragrant, tropical drink is a delicious, complex, summertime sipper. We enjoy it on its own or with greasy/salty food – think blue-cheese burger and fries. BAM! We’ve tweaked it a bit by gently muddling the mint and easing off, a bit, on the Chartreuse. Nice, sweet, herbaceous, and perfumy. We bet you can’t have just one. Be sure to check out our other Falernum cocktails, including our Cucumber No. 5, which is inspired by this gem. Learn how to make your own Falernum, as well. Cheers!
