St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is a Liqueur hailing from Jamaica.

What is St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram?

St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is a revival of the classic Jamaican liqueur known as "pimento dram," infusing rum with the warm, complex flavors of allspice berries. Interestingly, despite its name, allspice is not a blend of spices but a single berry that tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves—making this liqueur a powerhouse of flavor in just a few drops.

Why do we love St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram?

St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram isn't actually a rum, but a spiced liqueur that adds complex, warming flavors to cocktails. This Jamaican specialty blends rum with allspice berries (also known as pimento), creating a potent and aromatic ingredient that's essential in tiki drinks and perfect for adding depth to fall and winter cocktails.

How do you drink St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram?

St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram shines in rum-based tropical cocktails, adding warm spice notes that complement fruity flavors, but it's also excellent in whiskey drinks for a touch of Caribbean flair. While primarily a cocktail ingredient, adventurous drinkers might enjoy it neat or on the rocks as a digestif on chilly autumn evenings, perhaps paired with a slice of spiced pumpkin pie or gingerbread for a cozy dessert experience.

Nose: Intense allspice aroma with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. Caramel and molasses notes from the rum base. Hints of dried orange peel and vanilla.

Palate: Rich and warming. Allspice dominates but doesn't overpower. Dark brown sugar sweetness balanced by peppery spice. Subtle oak and tobacco undertones. Full-bodied with a syrupy texture.

Finish: Long and spicy. Allspice lingers with cinnamon heat. Fades to a pleasant rum sweetness with hints of coffee and dark chocolate. Leaves a warm, tingling sensation on the palate.

St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is crafted by steeping crushed allspice berries in high-proof rum, then blending the infusion with sugar and additional rum to achieve the desired flavor profile and proof. What's fascinating about the process is that allspice berries, despite their name, aren't a blend of spices but a single fruit that naturally combines flavors reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, resulting in a complex and aromatic liqueur.

  • St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram was nearly extinct in the U.S. until 2008, when a small Austrian distillery revived the recipe using Jamaican rum and pimento berries, saving this crucial tiki ingredient from being lost to history.
  • Despite its name, allspice isn't a blend of spices but a single berry from the pimento tree, which is native to Jamaica. When used in St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, it imparts flavors reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves all at once.
  • The "dram" in St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram isn't just a fancy name - it's a nod to the historical measurement used for spirits in Scotland. One dram is equal to 1/8 of a fluid ounce, highlighting the potent nature of this liqueur that's meant to be used sparingly in cocktails.

      A surprisingly useful liqueur

      Rich nose and flavoring of spices. Mixes very well with complex rums to further increase the complexity and sweet, exotic aspect. Also does very well when mixed with coffee. Has a permanent place on my shelf.
