History

The recipe is attributed to Donn Beach (Ernest Raymond Gantt, 1907-1989), who opened Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood in 1933 and is considered the father of tiki culture. His take on the daiquiri pairs two rums with passion fruit and honey. The drink joined the official IBA list in the 2024 revision.
