Produced in Austria, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is a take on a traditional Jamaican liqueur made by macerating allspice berries with pot-still rum. A bottle retails for about $24.99.
As cocktail ingredients go, St. Elizabeth is exceptional, lending an island spice — or a Christmas character — to anything you might mix with it. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way — and sip straight at your own peril.
Overall, this bottle of St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram is one of my favorite liqueurs. The quality is pretty much on par with the price, and the allspice notes are surprisingly versatile in cocktails. This is a great product to have on hand in order to spice up many different types of drinks from winter to tropical.
