ABOUT
This classic tiki cocktail was reimagined by Martin Cate of Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco. Cate bartended at Trader Vic’s where this was a popular drink by staff and guests. This tiki drink has a relatively short ingredient list, but Cate says still achieves depth and richness. Cheers y’all!
