Questions & Answers
Brief answer to the question Sort of. The end product will taste a little different and your sugar/simple syrup will need to be adjusted up accordingly in order to achieve the right sweetness. A little trial and error may be necessary to come up with the right ratio. The longer answer is "Pimento" refers in both cases to allspice (this name is still widely used for allspice in Jamaica as well as in much of the Caribbean) It is said that the term "picemto" means pepper, and allspice "berries" (which are actually seeds) look a lot like peppercorns (which are also seeds). Although the primary flavor of Pimento Dram is the same, there may be additional ingredients (rum seems to be a common liquor base for Pimento Dram), as well as sugar (in this case, brown sugar, which will alter the taste profile even more). It is likely the bitters will be sour rather than sweet, since they can contain other ingredients in addition to the Pimento. If you intend to make this a heavier recipe, you would need to add more sugar, which you might use brown or dark sugar instead of white or demerara sugar to add a bit more depth and richness (unless you want a lighter body and flavor profile). There may be interactions between all of these depending on the grog recipe you're using and the other ingredients included, There were only three ingredients in the original grog recipe Combined with limes and sugar, rum is the perfect drink.

There are a lot of cocktail geeks who place their name on products all the time, and often it's just a brand experiment. I can't think of such a thing for this one. The bitters here are quite good, and Dale DeGroff has a superb reputation in the cocktail world, so I'm pleased that they really are one step above the rest. The aroma is just a tad heavier than many bitters, so if you tend to drink 3 bitters, you may not like this As an example, instead of 4 dashes of Angostura, try just one dash Put three dashes of Dale's bitters on the cocktail. There is quite a bit of potency to it. feature of having this in my bar is that since I am largely a classic, pre-industrial type of guy, it suits me perfectly As a cocktail enthusiast I enjoy traditional recipes, but like twists that are respectful as well. . As long as it's still true to the original recipe, change can be good. Think of a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, even a Sazerac (and remember the strength of Peychaud's bitters) and this recipe fits right in for that change you want. In another corner of the shelf is the tried-and-true Gold standard for excellence and reliability. This is awesome.
Got a leak while you were here? In spite of its intact condition, the bottle clearly does not contain the contents intended for it. In addition to the bubble wrap and the paper labels of the bottle showing signs of leakage, there was also evidence of staining on the bubble wrap. There is no way to exchange or replace this item according to Amazon. The drink is 45% alcohol by volume, so I am not concerned about contamination, but I am disappointed I am not able to return this pricey, nearly half-finished drink. We need a new bottle of bitters after we empty our old.
To mix with apple bourbon whiskey and cranberry juice with chopped apples, we bought this. They were just the right touch for a fall-themed meal Drink themed to the season.
Approximately one sixth of the package was lost during transmission, however. I think it makes the best Manhattan I've ever tasted. Dale, thanks for the kind words!.
On the label you are also greeted with the handsome Dale Degroff. We win by working together. For me, it was the missing ingredient for a number of cocktails because it provided a lot of depth of flavor. I don't know what to say.
That's all I can say.
I appreciate your kind words.
That is what versatility is all about. This would be the one bottle of bitters you want to buy if you could only get one.
