Ingredients

  1. 1 cup sugar
  2. 3/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  3. 12 whole allspice
  4. One 6-inch piece ginger, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  5. 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  6. Ice
  7. Six 12-ounce bottles dark lager beer, such as Negra Modelo, chilled
  8. 6 tablespoons dark rum
  9. Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine 2 cups water with the sugar, peppercorns, allspice and ginger in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer until slightly reduced and a bit syrupy, about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, cool and then strain. You will have about 1 1/4 cups syrup. 
  2. Mix the ginger syrup and lime juice together. Fill each pint glass halfway with ice and add 2 to 4 tablespoons of ginger syrup, depending on how gingery you want it, to each glass. Pour a bottle of beer over the syrup, and then slowly pour a tablespoonful of dark rum over the top so it floats. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge.
