Excellent margarita. Since I’m in the US, I had to settle for John Taylor’s Velvet Falernum and not Difford’s unfortunately. After some “research”, I find that doubling (almost 2.5 bar spoons) the Taylor’s Falernum worked well and with a pinch of sea salt in lieu of saline solution. I’m interested to hear what others think about this. Next time I’m trying with Meyers just because hey I’m in California. For extra kick I sometimes add a splash of Squirt (grapefruit soda) for some effervescence.

Hi Geoff! I made some tonight and also used limes. The recipe says lemons because I find them somewhat more consistent in citrus-ness, if there's such a word, year round. And I use a 1/4 oz of Taylor's Falernum (I also haven't tried Difford's yet.) I'm glad you like it! And I also enjoy the "research"!
