Drink Recipe in Pilot Episode, "The Female Instinct"


I've never been able to figure out the liqueur that Gwendolyn ("G") is putting into their drinks a few minutes into the episode when Ernesta wraps up her writing for the night. Ernesta talks about having a tipple, and in the next scene G is talking about maraschino cherries and "filerna," which I'm spelling phonetically. Does anyone know what that liqueur or ingredient is? I think G says "as that nice waitress in France told us, it's the touch of 'filerna' that makes the difference."

She's saying "Falernum", which is a liqueur often paired with rum in mixed drinks, esp. of the tropical type.

Thank you! I finally understand it!
