Mr. Three & Bros. Ginger Falernum

Falernum was born in the 19th century in Barbados, from a mixture of rum, fruit and local spices, to be drunk as a tonic simply diluted with ice or to soften the rums of the past, decidedly more violent than those we are used to today. Later, during his Caribbean “exile” (Prohibition was in force in the States), Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, better known as Donn The Beachcomber, the creator of the very concept of Tiki, began to use it in his drinks, until it became an irreplaceable ingredient. After Prohibition, Donn returned home making Tiki mixing popular and with it Falernum. Today Edoardo Nono and the team at Rita & Cocktails in Milan, in collaboration with Compagnia dei Caraibi, after having experimented with it for a long time as an excellent homemade product, have created a Falernum that can reach the market while maintaining its original artisanal qualities. In addition to Edoardo's experience and passion, its production includes Caribbean white rum, dark rum, ginger, spices, bitter almonds, lime, lemons and sugar.
