Winter
This vintage cocktail was recommended to us by Jason E. Clapham who aptly describes it as "a Jamaican daiquiri with Christmas spices."

Made with 1 Oz of Smith and Cross and 1 Oz Briland Afrohead. I really enjoyed this drink. It is still recognizable as being in the daiquiri space, but the allspice and ginger conspire to make it more complex and yes, wintery, especially towards the end of the swallow. A great rum drink for a cold February night.

I just muddled a couple of coins of ginger in the shaker tin in lieu of ginger liqueur and mixed it all with up with Plantreray Xaymaca - great daiquiri riff!

I made this with Smith & Cross and wouldn't recommend it. Unfortunately, it was too funky, resulting in an unbalanced cocktail. Will try it with another rum next time.

I got a good but manageable funk using a split base with equal parts Smith & Cross and Appleton Estate Reserve. I also increased the dram to 1/4 oz and used ginger syrup since I didn't have ginger liqueur.

Smith & Cross has a high alc./vol. for 60ml. I used Myer's Original Rum.

Made this with a homemade allspice dram, and didn’t have a Jamaican rum, so used Venezuelan Diplomatico rum. Still excellent, but probably more salsa than funk.

This is a very good cocktail, second only to Firecracker in its use of Pimento Dram.

Superb. A new favorite.

I have made this as written and by substituting Flor de Caña rum and 1:1 simple syrup. The alterations are simply delicious.

I had to omit the pimento so i cant say if the cocktail benefits from it however it was lovely the way it was
I used a mount Gat rum
