Ancient Mariner (cocktail)

The Ancient Mariner is a tiki drink created by Jeff "Beachbum" Berry and Annene Kaye.[1][2] It first appeared in their 1998 drink guide Beachbum Berry's Grog Log and is named after Coleridge's 1798 The Rime of the Ancient Mariner because in Berry's words “by the time we finished with it, that’s how old we felt.”[3]

Its signature ingredient is pimento flavored liqueur, which in the United States is most commonly referred to as "pimento dram" or "allspice dram" due to conflation of pimento and pimenta.[4][5] As such it should not be confused with Pimiento pepper liquor or similar alcohols such as those made by Ancho Reyes and others.[6][7]

Ingredients

gollark: Specifically, they apparently found FLAC worse somehow.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
gollark: There was one audiophile website which claimed that they had hearing-tested FLAC against WAV, and found they found WAV different somehow.
