Ginger Liqueur
Tastes like Domaine de Canton. Delicious. Used in the tiki cocktail Yule Log Grog.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces ginger root (I used dried, fresh will work too)
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 1/2 cups rum (I used Mount Gay Eclipse)
Boil the ginger, vanilla, sugar, and water for 10 minutes, then let cool and put into a jar to sit for 2-3 days. Double strain and bottle!

Allspice Dram
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup allspice berries
- 2 1/2 cups navy-strength rum
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 cinnamon stick
Toast and crush allspice berries, then soak in rum for two weeks. Mix with simple syrup (1:1) made with brown sugar, vanilla bean, and cinnamon.
