📜 History

Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, who reinvented himself as Donn Beach (or Don the Beachcomber), created this daiquiri variation at his legendary Hollywood tiki bar in the 1930s. The recipe transforms the simple three-ingredient Cuban daiquiri into something more exotic by adding passion fruit and grapefruit to the traditional rum-lime-sugar combination. In 2024, the IBA added this drink to their New Era category, recognizing tiki culture's lasting influence on modern cocktail making.
