Today we make a super simple allspice dram that is very close to St. Elizabeth allspice dram in flavor and sweetness. The homemade allspice dram is around 22.5% ABV and comes in at 30 Brix. While you can't use a refractometer to measure the sugar/Brix of a liqueur, when I did test my final version vs St/ Elizabeth the difference was 0.3%. Might be a happy coincidence or might be because they are very close in sugar and ABV.
Final Brix: 30
Final ABV: 21.5-22.5% (estimated)

📝 *Recipe* 📝
9 oz pot still Jamaican rum (266 ml)
6 oz water (177 ml)
15 grams of whole allspice berries (about 3 - 3.5 tbsp)
153 grams sugar (about 3/4 cup)
Crush the allspice berries and add them to a sealed container with rum and water. Let steep for 10 days shaking occasionally. Filter through a paper coffee filter and add sugar.
If you're looking to be EXACT, then the sugar you need may not be exactly 153 grams. That's how much I needed after measuring my filtered rum, all-spice, and water mixture but you might need more or less depending on how much you lost due to filtering. I have a longer cut of this video on Patreon where you can see (at the 4:00 min mark) how to raise Brix levels exactly. https://www.patreon.com/posts/all-spice-dram-117655415?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
