I've tried several, with and without Cinnamon, some with lime, and some with molasses. Others use Brown sugar to make the syrup instead of white. But I figured that I can't be the only one experimenting with this out there... I do have one that I particulary like, though I can't vouch for it's athuencity vs. the real stuff: 1/4 c. Crushed (Not Ground) Dried Allspice Berries 2-3 Cracked cinnamon Sticks Zest from 1 Lime 2 c. Meyer’s Dark Jamaican Rum 1/2 c. High Proof Rum (I used Bacardi 151...) I let this steep for 5 days Then filtered it and added it to a sugar syrup which I made by boilng together for 10 minutes: 3 c. Water 1 lb. Brown sugar 1/4 c. Molasses I bottled it and let it set about a week. Pretty tasty all by itself...and I'm looking forward to test-driving it in a mixed drink very soon. :sheckymug:
