Notes
If you want to substitute for the allspice dram and Falernum you could use a cinnamon syrup and orgeat, an almond syrup. Both found at well stocked liquor stores. Since the allspice dram adds more spice to the cocktails, I would use a spiced cider instead of plain cider to make up for the loss of spices with the omission of the allspice dram.
Tiki bitters by Bittermans can be found online in various places, you can substitute with any tropical bitters you like.
If you want to make it a fizzy drink swap out the cider for a sparkling cider. Make the cocktail as stated above but omit the cider, pour into the prepared glasses then top with sparkling cider and stir gently to combine but not lose the fizz
