*Falernum is a rather hard-to-find ingredient that is used in some tropical cocktails. It is essentially a sweet syrup that is flavored with lime juice, ginger, and other spices.
*Demerara Rum is a blend of mature rums from Guyana, the only country in the world legally entitled to call its rum Demerara. Before blending, each rum is aged in oak casks to bring out its full character and flavor. The rums are then carefully blended to produce a fine Demerara rum of particular smoothness and quality.
