In the end, the drink doesn't come off as "super special" nor is it really better than, say, a whiskey sour. But, it does bring whiskey to the falernum. The Bourbon Special - 1 1/2 oz Bourbon - 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 1/4 oz Simple Syrup - 1/4 oz Falernum - 3/4 oz Ginger Beer At the end of the day, this drink does have a bit of the moscow mule flavor to it--ginger forward with muted flavors beyond that scope. But, interesting to try; we would suggest maybe bumping up the falernum to get more clove and "tiki" flavor.
