I found a recipe for Trader Vic's Navy Grog which has Pimento liqueur in it. I ordered a bottle from Reggae Treats along with an overproof rum for future use. The Pimento which is acutally allspice berries is very unique. Never tasted anything like it before. Mindy suggested I try and find some kind of white creme liqueur and make a "pumpkin pie" drink. That might just work!
Trader Vic's Navy Grog was very tasty if a bit overpowered by the allspice (quarter of an ounce is all). But I'm still stuck on a Beachbum Berry's original "Captain Vadrna’s Grog". 2 1/2 ounces Captain Morgan spiced rum, 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice, 3/4 ounce demerara sugar syrup (equal parts demerara sugar and water), 1/2 ounce white grapefruit juice, and a dash of Angostura bitters. I don't like spiced rum so I substitute Appleton Estate V/X.
Have a great week everyone!
