1 oz Lemon Juice

1 oz Ginger Syrup (Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur)
1/2 oz St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
1 oz Black Blended Rum (Coruba)

For the Fourth of July, I celebrated by beginning the evening with the Piñata by Marco Dionysos via the Smuggler's Cove cocktail book. Once built, the Piñata offered a woody and minty spice nose. Next, lemon with hints of pineapple on the sip gave way to funky rum and ginger on the swallow with an allspice and pineapple finish.
