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

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.

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.

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

Liking rum and ginger, this is outstanding. Has all the flavours of winter. Considering using this a base for a more red coloured drink for Christmas using either grenadine in place of the some or all the sugar syrup.

John, I tried the grenadine version side by side with the regular sugar syrup thanks to your comment. Definitely liked the grenadine version more.

According to my ingredients, I had to play a little bit with the relations. Especially I used Bitter Truth Falernum instead of Pimento dram, as it is heavy on allspice. The result was really delicious winterly cocktail!
