ABOUT
This cocktail is a twist on the famous Donga Punch (by Don The Beachcomber), which is rhum agricole based. This riff is by Matthias Soberon (@servedbysoberon), who subs in gin and lemon (instead of lime). The Peychaud’s is optional, but I love the aromatic and bitter notes (and color) it adds. Cheers y’all!
