Kirk Estopinal, Cane & Table | New Orleans

“It can be used in drops and dashes and even larger amounts like three quarters of an ounce” explains Kirk Estopinal of the go-to tiki ingredient, allspice dram. “The result can be everything from aromatic to bizarrely tactile and drying,” he adds. Here, Estopinal lands somewhere in the middle, using half an ounce to bring baked spice notes to the quasi-tropical mixture of vodka, coconut milk and lime juice.
