History

Rhum agricole and allspice dram play a huge role in this complex Tiki cocktail.

Named after the Morse Code for victory, "Three Dots and a Dash" was created during WWII by Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, widely known as Don Beach. It was conceived at his Don the Beachcomber's restaurant. This recipe is an adaptation from the original found in "Beachbum Berry's Sippin' Safari."
