Nice sour variation, just bought a bottle of allspice dram and have been wanting to use it for other things besides tiki drinks.

Very fruity whisky sour, for obvious reasons. I will make it again

Seems a little sweet, maybe my honey is too rich. But this is a lovely drink. Smoky, layers of spice. Top notch sour variation. Will have again.

We tried this and my wife preferred it without the cherry brandy.

Then we subbed in Calvados and it quickly became a favorite autumnal drink. Very apple pie.

This is a wonderful sweet and sour cocktail, although I had to substitute a little on the formula. I didn’t have the pimento liqueur or the cherry brandy, so I used 1/2 oz of brandy and mixed it with 1/4 oz of Luxardo Cherry Syrup, and a dash of Angustura Bitters. I look forward to trying it as formulated.
