03History

Donn Beach built this at Don the Beachcomber in the 1940s — the grog name was naval tradition, the recipe pure tiki.

The traditional serve packs the glass with a cone of shaved ice — built to dilute slowly through a straw.

Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
