History & Origin

Created by Don the Beachcomber as his tribute to the British Royal Navy's rum tradition. The drink combines three different rums—light, gold, and dark—with grapefruit, lime, and honey. The original recipe was kept secret using coded ingredients. Jeff "Beachbum" Berry decoded it decades later through research.
