FAQ's

Faq icon

What is the ideal type of tequila to use for The Fallon?

For The Fallon, using a high-quality, 100% agave tequila, preferably blanco or silver tequila, is ideal. These tequilas will provide a clean, crisp flavor that complements the sweet and salty notes of the cocktail.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute maple syrup with another sweetener?

Yes, you can substitute maple syrup with honey or a simple syrup if necessary. However, keep in mind that maple syrup provides a unique flavor profile that contributes to the character of The Fallon.

Garnishing tips icon

What garnish works well with The Fallon?

A slice of lime or a twist of orange peel can add a refreshing aroma and a decorative touch to The Fallon. The citrus element enhances the cocktail's flavors.

Non alcoholic variations icon

Is there a non-alcoholic version of The Fallon?

To create a non-alcoholic version of The Fallon, you can use non-alcoholic tequila or a tequila-flavored syrup combined with the remainder of the non-alcoholic ingredients. This will mimic the flavor profile while being alcohol-free.

Serving suggestions icon

How should The Fallon be served for the best taste?

The Fallon should be thoroughly shaken with ice and then strained into a lowball glass over fresh ice. Serving it cold enhances its rich flavors and the smoothness of the tequila. A pinch of salt can be added to the glass rim or directly into the cocktail for an extra layer of flavor.
