Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the Kona Cocktail, made with Pineapple, Lime, Passionfruit, Honey, and Gold Rum.
The Kona Cocktail was one of Donn Beach’s lesser-known, unpublished creations, showcasing his inventive approach to tropical mixology. Discovered in bartender Dick Santiago’s personal notebook, the recipe preserved a forgotten piece of early tiki history. Its rediscovery offers insight into Donn’s experimentation with tropical flavors and techniques, reflecting the mystery, creativity, and craftsmanship that helped define tiki’s golden age.
