Steps:
- Make the basil syrup: Bring 1 cup water, the sugar, peppercorns and allspice berries to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, then continue to simmer until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the 1 cup basil. Let cool, then strain into a liquid measuring cup. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. (You should have about 1 cup syrup, enough for 8 cocktails.)
- For each drink: Muddle the lime wedges and 2 basil leaves in a shaker with 3/4 ounce of the basil syrup. Add the light rum, fill with ice and shake well. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and top with the ginger beer. Float the dark rum on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Garnish with a lime wedge.

- To begin, prepare your fruit. Peel the skin of both the kiwi and mango. A potato peeler works well for this. Chop the fruit into small pieces, around 1/2 inch in diameter.
- Prepare the syrup: Chop the basil into small fine pieces, squeeze the juice of 1 lime, and grate the lime peel using a microplane zester. Add honey, and whisk together to combine.
- Pour syrup over fruit, and stir to coat. Serve immediately, or chill for up to 8 hours before serving. This salad tastes best served within the 8 hour window, but can still hold up for a few extra days in the fridge.
