Homemade Allspice Dram
Description
This recipe for Homemade Allspice Dram involves crushing whole allspice berries to release their flavor and steeping them in rum along with a cinnamon stick after an initial infusion period. After infusion, the rum is strained through fine mesh and coffee filters to ensure clarity. A brown sugar syrup boiled briefly in water is then mixed into the infused rum to balance the strong spice flavors with sweetness. The mixture rests further to meld all flavors before use.
The resulting dram carries the characteristic aroma and mild pungency of allspice and cinnamon with the warmth of rum, providing a versatile ingredient often used in mixed drinks or desserts. The preparation concentrates aromatic spices without grinding them too finely to avoid bitterness.
Ingredients
- 1/8 cup allspice berries whole
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup rum you can use light or dark, I used dark
- 1 1/2 cups water

- Crush the allspice berries in a spice grinder, or with a mortar and pestle. You want them roughly cracked and crushed, don't grind them into a powder.
- Put the allspice in a sealable glass jar, a mason jar is perfect.
- Pour the rum in the jar, put the lid on, and give it a shake.
- Let the rum sit for a day, then break up the the cinnamon stick and add it to the jar.
- After 2 days, strain out the rum with a fine mesh strainer. Then put it through a coffee filter to filter out the smaller particles.
