St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is an Austrian liqueur derived from a Jamaican pot-still rum base, made by steeping pimento berries in the rum. The berry comes from a West Indian tree called Pimenta dioica, a relative of the eucalyptus tree. This liqueur is a critical element in tropical drinks.
Base: Allspice (“pimento”)
Flavor is most like: Clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, anise
Sweetness (1 to 5): 2
Description: Adds a sweet, spicy note to cocktails, but the spice can be very strong in flavor. A little certainly goes a long way, and too much will overpower a cocktail. This liqueur pairs well with grapefruit and pineapple juice, as well as coffee.
ABV: 22.5%
