History
Allspice is native to Jamaica where the liqueur originated. 'Pimento' is the Jamaican name for allspice. The liqueur nearly disappeared but was revived by craft bartenders seeking authentic tiki ingredients.
How it’s made
Made by macerating dried allspice berries (pimento) in rum, then sweetening with sugar. The berries provide warm, complex spice reminiscent of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg combined. Homemade versions are popular among bartenders.
