I've never tried Elemakule bitters (or even seen them on any local shelves). Last year I found the "Lazy Bear" recipe on the Pegu Blog, which calls for spiced bitters, a 1:1 mix of Angostura bitters and pimento dram.

Spiced bitters were easy to make, and I've used them in not only the Lazy Bear but also some personal original recipes. Based on the descriptions of allspice and cinnamon here, does anyone think spiced bitters could be used as a suitable substitute for Elemakule bitters? (After looking at prices online, it certainly appears more economical...).
