Looks impressive for a first try, and your thinking process is right. You may have a knack for this. The drink sounds good. My only concern is that it may be a bit too much on the absinthe as absinthe and pastis (eg Pernod) tend to overwhelm drinks even in small amounts. Seems to me it very well might completely bury the allspice at that amount. If it does try cutting the absinthe in half, which is still twice as much as Don the Beachcomber tended to use.
