Method
step 1
Gently warm 60g golden caster sugar in a pan with 30ml water and 1 tbsp allspice. Cook gently until the sugar has dissolved, then leave the mixture to cool. Strain through a sieve lined with a coffee filter (or a double layer of kitchen paper).
step 2
Pour 60ml of the spiced syrup into a cocktail shaker along with 200ml rum and 90ml lime juice. Shake with ice and strain between six flute glasses. Top up with 600ml champagne and garnish each with an orange twist.

I've made the syrup with a mix of caster sugar and demerera (all I have in stock). It's incredibly thick and will not pass through a coffee filter. Any advice?

It would be good to have a correction for water volume needed for this recipe. I tried several ways to strain the syrup. Using just water and allspice makes coffee filter straining possible but a lot of water is absorbed by hydrating the allspice powder so resulting available volume is less than…

If there's only 30ml of liquid, how do I pour 60ml in to the shaker? Is the water amount wrong or does this end up as more than 30ml of syrup?

I think they mean 300ml of water otherwise it defies physics

Very Chistmassy but also incredibly strong!! I have lots of the syrup left so will have to continue using it up until Christmas.
