I mentioned that at the reading tonight, there would be a specialty cocktail. Rina Weisman, the power behind SF in SF, has given me the recipe to share with you
As the inventor, I graciously share the recipe for all: 1 shot Velvet Falernum over ice, fill with a nice champagne, add a dash of Rose’s Lime Juice, and topped with a maraschino cherry. DELISH! And for those of you who don’t know Falernum…it’s divine.
“This famous Bajan ‘Gold Medal’ beverage and mixer with a uniquely refreshing flavour was developed by John D. Taylor of Bridgetown, Barbados in 1890. This sugar cane based liqueur born and bred in Barbados is a staple of every Bajan’s bar. Its uniquely refreshing flavor comes from a refined infusion of lime laced with fine cane syrup and ‘botanicals’ including almonds and cloves.”
I hope to see some of you there tonight!
Ok, that sounds tasty. With a name like “shades of milk and honey” I was worried.
Yeah, I expected an Irish cream with some honey liqueur and maybe some of brandy.
Thank you for the recipe. Now I shall have to see if we can
find that Velvet Falernum at Tamura’s Market.
