This tiki classic was created during WWII by the godfather of the genre himself, Donn Beach. The name means “victory” in Morse Code. San Francisco’s modern tiki mecca Smuggler’s Cove adapted this version from Beachbum Berry’s Sippin’ Safari.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ oz Rhum Agricole (AOC Martinique vieux 8)

- 1/2 oz Fresh Orange Juice
- 1/2 oz Honey Syrup
- 1/4 oz Falernum
- 1/4 oz Allspice Dram
- 1 Dash Angostura Bitters
Add all the ingredients to a blender tin. Fill with 12 ounces of crushed ice, flash blend, and pour contents into a footed pilsner glass. Add garnish.
Garnish: 3 maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick a pineapple wedge or frond (thus illustrating the name).
