Thanks for the incredibly fast response! I'm really excited to find a group of people going through this book like I am, and glad to know it's not a big deal if I don't have all those bitters.
In reference to your latest post (Park Life Swizzle), anyone have recommendations for homemade falernum recipes? (I did a quick search of this site, but came across much older posts - perhaps someone has come across something better since?)
You are very welcome. And you picked a great cocktail book to go through!
About falernum recipes, I did a review of published recipes a while back. Based on it, I've been very happy with the recipe that Adam Elmegirab posted on eGullet. That's my go-to recipe, and it has a great shelf-life too.
Whatever you do, don't buy Taylor's velvet falernum. Its flavor is so weak, it's is a joke... Like clove flavored syrup. That's one case where it absolutely pays off to make your own.
