Denard Brewing

Pimento or Allspice Dram has been a Caribbean secret for many years. It just adds a little something to tikki drinks that nothing else can accomplish. It seems really potent at first, but don't let that scare you away. It is totally worth it. 

Ingredients
-750 ml Lemon Hart 151 Demerara, Don Q, or Bacardi 8 rum. 
-3/4 cup whole dried allspice berries
-3/4 cup of unsulphited molasses 

1. Using a mortar, coarsely crush the allspice berries and place in a jar. 
2. Cover with the rum and seal tightly. Let the mixture steep for 2 weeks.  
3. Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
4. Add 3/4 cup of unsulphited Molasses. 
5. Mix until dissolved and bottle it into a clean, air tight bottle. 
6. Age it for at least one month. 
-Age is needed for this to come together!
7. Filter through a coffee filter or pour the clear liquid off the top. Around 30% ABV.
