carribean specialties are the coolest thing in cocktails and a great one is Jamaica’s “pimento dram” which is an allspice liqueur…. importation has stopped but its not hard enough to make….

its frisco style classics includes the “lion’s tale” and the “none but the brave”

none sold well but all that tried it loved it…. so i re ethnitized it and came up with the “coer d’ obscurite” (heart of darkness) seems to be more francophiles than rastas around boston….

jamaican rum or rye whiskey….or both so they can fight it out….
then a sour made from the pimento dram and balanced with lemon juice….

the chefs i work with keep drinking too much of my pimento dram but a new batch is expected at restaurant Dante soon….. cheers….
