Good classic Tiki drink! I used Coruba + El Dorado 12 and The Bitter Truth. In the future want to try with Hamilton Pimento Dram or St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram Liquer to see if there is any difference.

I will echo the previous comments, as I found the drink gained some clarity after I added more turbinado simple syrup about 1/3 of the way through. The additional sweetness really brought out the Allspice Dram and grapefruit flavors for me, which previously had been buried under the lime/dark rum combination. I found the version with 1/2 syrup to be better balanced, and quite delicious.

First thought this was a weird combination of flavours. But I’m now halfway through the cocktail and it’s really growing on me. I did add a bit more sugar syrup for balance. Maybe my lime/grapefruit is just not as sweet. I really like the bitter hint of grapefruit in the background.

I'm not the biggest drinker of blackstrap rum, but this is a great way to bring its flavours out in less of a cloying way. Really enjoyed it.

The grapefruit juice and pimento dram are really working together to make this stand out. I made this with an extra 1/4 shot of syrup cause that seems to be a common recipe online, and it was very balanced, so I suppose this recipe is slightly on the drier side.

I used El Dorado 5 yr and Plantation Xamayca. It's all about the Allspice dram here. Wow, definitely in my top favorite tiki cocktails now.

Used Bacardi Gold 8 year, Gosling's Black and substituted a cinnamon syrup for the sweetener. Solid cocktail that I truly enjoyed.

Used 100 proof Navy Rum and Jamaican Black rum. It was great. Being primarily a rum drinker, this is wonderful.
