It took some effort and a few buck$ to gather all the ingredients (or their modern equivalents) but it was well worth it. As Donn Beach would say, "It's off the heezy fo' sheezy!" Nothing like the syrupy sweet liquid candy that these joints are pushing today but a real cocktail: flavorful, complex, and, ultimately, EXOTIC. I have been transported to another place: the kitchen floor. Should've called it quits after one but what the hell? Long live Beachbum Berry! And while we're at it: Long live Halle Berry! (BTW, I used Starbucks cinnamon syrup and store brand grapefruit juice to make "Don's Mix" and having forgotten to pick up fresh limes, ReaLime, and the damn drink still slays, so there ya go.)
