Author Notes

The use of Caribbean spices was a common feature across Don Beach’s catalogue. Many now consider this the defining aspect of tiki recipes. This one includes two forms of spice—cinnamon syrup, as well as Don’s Spices (equal parts vanilla and allspice). As for the rum, a light-aged Hawaiian agricole rhum is a fun twist, though you can use two ounces of any high quality rum you have at home.
