The Donn Beach / Trader Vic classic — a three-rum blend (dark Jamaican, aged Demerara, light Cuban or Puerto Rican) balanced with lime, grapefruit, and honey syrup, traditionally served over an ice cone.
Ingredients
- 1 oz dark Jamaican rum (Hampden Overproof)
- 1 oz aged Demerara rum (El Dorado 15)
- 1 oz light Cuban or Puerto Rican rum (Havana Club 3 Años)
- ¾ oz lime juice
- ¾ oz grapefruit juice
- ¾ oz honey syrup (Fred’s note: actually 1 oz of 1:1 honey-to-water, made 2:1 to reduce the amount)
- ¾ oz club soda (Fred used mineral water)
Instructions
- Shake everything with ice.
- Strain into a double old-fashioned glass.
- Garnish with an ice cone around a straw, mint, and a lime wedge. (Fred added a Royal Navy flag and a grapefruit slice.)
