03History
Beachcomber's Honolulu bar took the Cohan-era Daiquiri and bent it tiki: two rums, passion fruit syrup, honey syrup — blended with crushed ice. The 'special' part is the balance: passion fruit replaces half the acid.
Donn guarded his syrups fiercely; the published version is the one historians finally extracted.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
