*Don's Spices #2 
 Created by Donn Beach in 1937, the recipe for his secret Spices No.2 is a blend of equal parts Vanilla Syrup and Allspice Liqueur (also known as Pimento Dram). Allspice liqueur is often used to add an intricate background note to cocktails - combining it with vanilla syrup creates an even bolder flavour profile.
