03History
A mid-century tiki standard — the trade winds themselves, slow and warm. Less famous than the Mai Tai because it never needed defending.
The coconut cream is used sparingly: a softening layer, not the subject.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
