From Trader Vic's Book of Food and Drink, Pg. 70 (1946)

"Here's my idea of a killer-diller. Why people drink them I don't know, but I'll bet you make one before you throw this book away, and I'll bet you drink more of these than any other drink in the book. Don the Beachcomber originated the drink and since then there have been as many different formulas as there are for Planter's Punch. Heres a simplified version for home use.

1 oz Jamaica Rum
2 oz Puerto Rican Rum
1/2 oz Demerara 151
1 oz orange curacao
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz orange juice
1/2 oz grenadine
1 dash Pernod or Herbsaint

Put ingredients in large mixing glass with a large piece of ice; stir well and pour over cracked ice in a chimney glass.
This drink may also be made in large quantities for use in punch bowls. Oh-ho, what a party that'll be! Personally, I think it's too damn strong, but people seem to like it that way."
