Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Basil syrup:
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, sugar, black peppercorns, and allspice and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, then continue cooking until the syrup thickens slightly, 3-5 minutes. - Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of basil. Let cool, then strain into a liquid measuring cup. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You should have about 1 cup of syrup, enough for 8 cocktails.
- For each drink, combine lime wedges and 2 basil leaves with 20 ml of basil syrup in a shaker.
- Add light rum, fill a shaker with ice, and shake well. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and top with ginger beer.
- Top with dark rum, pouring it over the back of a spoon. Garnish with a lime wedge.
