The falernum Manhattan? Who knew how delicious it could be? Well, I do, now.
Food and Wine gives a pretty general recipe, but here’s what I found most delicious:
2 ounces Sazerac Rye
1 ounce Falernum
1 dash Fee Brothers aromatic bitters
Combine ingredients with ice in an old fashioned glass; stir until well chilled (30 to 60 seconds). Slice a lime wedge; hold skin-down over the drink and bend to release oil and rub on glass rim. A quick squeeze of lime juice and wedge garnish optional.
Consume while polishing a Blade Runner blaster or sewing a bonnet.
Wow, what the heck is Falernum?? I love in the home town of Few Brothers so that’s not a problem . . . .

Falernum, per Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falernum
Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, good plain with club soda & lime. Liquor store, not grocery store, I think (I bought mine in Providence, as the Virginia ABC doesn’t carry it).
