I can't recall what the tiki drinks books say about Dubonnet -- anyone know?

To my knowledge Dubonnet is more in the realm of "vintage cocktails" than used in tropical cocktails.

I do own a bottle myself. I believe I got it from BevMo.

Here is a recipe I found in the book Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails:

The Blackthorn Cocktail

2 oz gin
.75 oz Red Dubonnet
.75 oz kirshwasser

stir in a mixing glass with ice, and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with cocktail cherry and a lemon twist.

The book says reciepes for this drink go back to the 19th centuary
