Measurements are a bit crazy - 5/6 of a shot?!?!? but not a bad drink if you want to add some falernum to your tequila!

It's only crazy if you use shots or ounces. Five-sixths of a shot equals 25ml, the UK legal measuring unit for spirits and one of the most used measures in Europe, where bartenders work in increments of 5ml.

Little too sweet. Next time I will use 1/4 oz agave syrup

I’ve rated this the full 5+ stars! I love the difference the falernum brings when compared to triple sec in a margarita. Tempted to try this again soon but with anejo instead of reposado.

I love the background notes which the Falernum gives this cocktail. Great balance and sure to become a favourite
