Really sumptuous and delicious...and the bitters give it a nice sharp edge. Bravo. btw there appears to be a problem with the recipe specifying 2.5ml Allspice ground powder and the review referring to dram. We assumed that the recipe should be read as including 2.5ml Pimento Dram.

Many thanks, Simon. You assumed correctly! Should be 2.5ml Pimento Dram. Now corrected. I was too hasty when choosing from the options when uploading.
