Taylor's Velvet Falernum Liqueur

Exotic. Versatile. Caribbean Charm in a Bottle.

Taylor’s Velvet Falernum is more than just a liqueur – it’s a passport to the Caribbean in a bottle. First crafted in Barbados in the 19th century, this golden elixir combines the brightness of lime, the gentle nuttiness of almond, the warmth of ginger, and the aromatic spice of clove. The result is a soft, velvety drink with layers of flavour that bring a tropical charm to any cocktail.

Its versatility has made it a quiet hero behind the bar – the ingredient that takes a good drink and makes it unforgettable. In Ireland, bartenders and home cocktail enthusiasts alike are rediscovering its magic, using it to add depth, sweetness, and a hint of spice to tiki creations, rum punches, and even simple highballs. Whether you’re mixing for a summer garden party or looking for a splash of sunshine on a winter evening, Velvet Falernum delivers a taste of holiday indulgence without leaving home.

Why we love it:
Velvet Falernum is a timeless ingredient – soft in texture, bright in flavour, and endlessly adaptable. It has that rare ability to tie a drink together without stealing the spotlight. In Ireland, it’s become a favourite for bringing a touch of the tropics to grey days, and it’s just as happy in a classic Corn ’n’ Oil as it is in a modern bartender’s invention. It’s smooth, it’s spiced, and it’s irresistibly moreish.
