The Nui Nui requires three syrups: Pimento liqueur (not really a syrup) vanilla syrup, and cinnamon syrup. I've learned to short cut the process in a similar manner that the Beachbum does for himself.

Here's what I do. The drink calls for 1/4 oz. cinnamon syrup and 1/8 oz each of pimento liqueur and vanilla syrup. I do the following:

1/2 oz simple syrup
2 crushed and finely ground allspice berries
1/8 tsp. of cinnamon
1 dash of vanilla

Mix together and heat for 15 seconds in the microwave.

The thing is, this really works and delivers a great flavor to the overall drink. Honestly, I just don't have the inclination to keep a bunch of syrups around when its possible to make the flavors instantly.

I hope this is helpful.
