A wonderful cocktail! We discovered it thanks to some customers who ordered it, and we definitely found the recipe in the Diffords guide. It looks like a Sour, but much spicier. Perfect for an afternoon by the fireplace. 🍸🔥

Used cardamom bitters in place of angostura, but otherwise made exactly as written.Delicious! But as someone else already commented, it was gone too soon.

The full 1/2 oz of lime was too sour for my taste. Next time I’ll cut that by half. I like the bourbon - allspice - angostura blend.

Like a rum-based drink without the … rum 😉. Fresh, fruity, but with plenty of depth as well. Disappeared in a few sips, as the best cocktails should. Perfectly balanced and delicious. Will def make again. Makers 46, bitter truth pimento dram, angostura bitters.

Here's a vote for garnishing with a dusting of nutmeg in addition to a lime twist. I also added a good dash of homemade unsweetened pimento dram to reinforce the St. Elizabeth's. A nice use of allspice dram in a bourbon drink.

Mustache Ride (from Amaro) reduce bourbon to 1.5 and add 0.5 of Cynar; flop lime for lemon.

It's so...all spicey! With a lot of other good flavours. Made it with a bottled in bond strength bourbon. Not too sweet. Improves as it airs and warms. As per previous posts must try musgovado syrup and nutmeg garnish. It got a heart.

I liked this a lot. The bourbon + lime + spices works well. Especially great option for a winter evening.

I’ve tried this with a quite potent homemade dram (plantation 3 and o.f.t.d.). The first time I made it I used Buffalo Trace and simple syrup and I found that the spices dominated the cocktail completely. Now I have started using a more potent bourbon in Makers Mark and a muscovado syrup. It takes the cocktail to a very different place, but I find that it benefits from the dark molasses notes. Quite tasty.

Made this using homemade allspice dram. The allspice dram nicely complements the whiskey without taking over and the lime juice balances the drink nicely. Not too sweet, but still nicely balanced. A nice fresh cocktail with a hint of christmasy spice.

I've tried this several times because I love all the component ingredients -- but I've been having trouble finding a proper balance. Some recipes are a bit too tart, while others feature the allspice dram too much. I finally managed to work up a good spec by making two major changes: 1) I only used 1/4 oz lime, and 2) I strained over a large rock instead of serving up. A nutmeg garnish also goes a long way. This recipe helped a lot on my journey to a desired spec.

Brillant whiskey-based daiquiri. Wonderful lime and spice flavour. Was perfect before dinner. Nice with a strong cheese and vegetables.

Nice
As with a daiquiri - lime forward
but with Pimento Dram also making itself known - big pleasant addition reminiscent of Christmas

Tried this today but I had to use a "home-made" Allspice dram recipe (using 151 rum) since I could not find the St Elizabeth . As was stated, this has a heavy Allspice dram influence, which makes this a perfect "winter"/ Holiday cocktail. A very dry drink and I added a rock to the glass to mellow it out just a touch.
