Some makers threw in the kitchen sink while other recipes were more Spartan. As for what the Founding Fathers of Tiki Drinks actually used in their wonderful concoctions, it was probably an exported, stripped down version which was profitable for the maker, shelf stable (to some degree), and tasty. Heck, few mainlanders new waht it was supposed to taste like. For me, the ginger/lime drams are falernum, while the allspice makes it Pimento Dram.
