This liqueur is a favorite with my Jamaican in-laws, especially at X-mas time. In Jamaica it's called Pimento Liqueur because they call allspice" pimento". I didn't want anyone to make it with a bunch of red pimento peppers, though! Read more Thought i'd better clarify! It's nice to serve at dessert-time with all those X-mas goodies! See less
