Here is another great episode on tiki cocktails with this one featuring a classic: Three Dots and a Dash. This cocktail is a Don the Beachcomber's original (who is Don the Beachcomber?...well listen and we will go through his career and what he has done for tiki culture).
The cocktail: 3 dots and a dash was made during World War II and was a Morse code for "V". What is the significance of the "V"?
It meant victory and was also used by Winston Churchill who popularized the symbol and eventually converted into a sign for peace.
When making a cocktail using the "grandma pasta sauce process", you might have to tweak it to your liking. How do you do that? The "Straw" test is the answer. We'll go through this process and why is the bartender sucking on a straw when he makes my drink...well you will find out.
This drink has a cool garnish: 3 cherries and a pineapple spear.
