Pimento Liqueur - Tiki Drinks and Food

I think the allspice liqueur recipe is the way to go - it would probably be the best way to get the real taste without having to fly to Jamaica. Also, I believe the key to getting a good taste is using fresh allspice instead of the crap that has been in a bottle on a shelf for 20 years.
