Allspice liqueur (pimento dram) is a rum-based liqueur steeped with allspice (pimento) berries.
Give the same spice without the sugar: start with two dashes and taste. Add a few drops of syrup if the drink turns too dry.
Whole allspice
Crush a berry or two with the other ingredients and fine-strain the drink.
The berries of Pimenta dioica are picked unripe and dried, steeped in rum, and the result is sweetened. Allspice’s main aromatic is eugenol, the same oil that gives cloves their scent.
