I was there last weekend and picking brains about the grog syrup. When they have run out in the past, they have had to brew up their own mixture. They ran me through the method and the ingredients included, Cinnamon, Whole Cloves and Nutmeg. What, no Allspice I ask. Nope. Puts a ton of cinnamon powder, 10-12 whole cloves and 2tbsp of nutmeg in about 1/2 gallon of hot water, stirs it up and lets it sit for hours. Stirs it again, and lets it sit for hours. Then take a bottle of rock candy syrup that is 1/3 empty, skims water off the top of the "tea" and fills the syrup bottle with it. Shake it up, there you go. I think you are very close with the cinnamon syrup, vanilla syrup, falernum blend. It's flavor profile is very similar to Trader Vic's.
