Homemade allspice dram
Steep 120 ml of crushed allspice berries in 530 ml of 151-proof rum for 10 days, then strain. Stir in 680 g of brown sugar dissolved in 710 ml of water and rest it a month.
In a hurry, use 2 dashes of bitters plus half a barspoon of 2:1 syrup per 10 ml of dram. The spice comes through, but the drink is thinner and less warming.
Swaps straight in. The spice comes through softer, with lime, almond and less alcohol.
Description
The berry tastes of clove, cinnamon and nutmeg at once because its main aromatic is eugenol, the same oil that gives clove its smell.
