There’s a time and a place for this summer classic; when you’re back from a beach walk, after a barbeque or burgers on the grill, by the glow of tiki torches. I enjoy one after getting caught in the rain, or after making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape. May be sweet, may be kind of silly, but there’s a reason why this sipper’s so well loved. It’s damned delicious. Introduced on August 15, 1954 at the Caribe Hilton’s Beachcomber Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico by its alleged creator, Ramon Marrero, this one just has to be mentioned.

Here we go –

• 1 ½ oz white Rum
• 1 ½ oz cream of coconut
