BG Reynolds Cocktail Syrups (Falernum, 12.3 Fl. Oz)

Unexpectedly delicious. Made a Donga Punch (aka Beachcomber Punch, recipe on bottle) and realized why people revere Donn Beach. Above and beyond his business acumen, Donn created some amazing, unexpected cocktails.This combination of white grapefruit juice 2:1 with cinnamon syrup, mixed 1:1:0.5 or 1:1:1 with rhum agricole (Martinique AOC) and lime juice, is shockingly good. The cinnamon registers as “smoky” like a mezcal margarita. Along with the daiquiri, this might be the best three ingredient drink I’ve ever had.Donn is most (in)famous as the creator of the legendary Zombie (“limit two per customer!”) but the Donga Punch is at least as unexpected. Even if you don’t like tiki drinks, it’s worth trying at least once (you don’t need to buy this syrup, although finding fresh white grapefruit juice and strong cinnamon syrup is a challenge). Incorporating cinnamon syrup into tropical cocktails was a Donn Beach signature, and this simple 3-ingredient wonder shows why.

good orgeat, doesn't separate. good flavor

I love this stuff. I use it all the time for making my old-fashioned taste so good. I use the Demerara syrup instead of regular sugar syrup and the Demera provides a better taste and doesn’t overwhelm the bourbon. Highly recommend.

I use the product in a ginger latte (ginger syrup, almond milk with a bit of turmeric) and the flavor is okay. It doesn't have any off putting taste and the sweetness level was good, but it isn't as intense as I had hoped. The packaging was fine, it came bubble wrapped and with an air filled pouch, and I didn't experience any problems with a broken or leaking bottle. I live in the boonies and Amazon delivered as scheduled.

I've generally been impressed with the BG Reynolds products. I bought the Falernum and have been very happy with it for a variety of tiki drinks. ONE RECOMMENDATION: Make a couple drinks with it and then add back a shot of Everclear. Doing so will make it store longer.

We will ONLY order this brand. We have tried multiple brands, but this is the best. We love a good mai tai, and this is the best. We have visited Hawaii numerous times, and this orgeat is the best because it is easy to blend and has no overwhelming taste. You only need a little of this orgeat because it goes a long way!

Became moldy after a single use, had stuff floating in it on arrival.

This is marketed for tiki drinks but I’m not necessarily a tiki fan but wow this makes a mean passion fruit margarita. So easy and so delicious. I’m glad I tried it. I have a full bar set up at home and this is an addition that I will keep purchasing.Pros:DeliciousSuper mixableFun flavorCons:Not super cheap (but worth it!)
