Probably invented in the 1940s by Trader Vic (Victor Bergeron) or maybe in

the 1930s by Don The Beachcomber, this bracing tiki drink is perfect for a
hot day at the beach. Don't be fooled by the sweet, fruity junk you find at
some bars -- made right, this is a delicious and poweful cocktail.


  • 1 oz. amber rum
  • 1 oz. dark rum
  • 1 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz. quality orgeat
  • 1/2 oz. orange curaçao or Cointreau

Place all ingredients in a shaker and shake vigorously. Pour into a tall

glass over crushed ice or ice cubes. Garnish with the shell of one of the
limes you squeezed and a mint sprig, if you like.
