From what I can tell, most of Don's drinks are riffs off Caribbean cocktails. Would Filipinos who had immigrated to California know anything about them? I don't know the answer, but I have my doubts. Prohibition had ended only a year before Don the Beachcomber opened, and most bars in town were more likely serving gin, Canadian whiskey, and Scotch than anything with rum.

if i'm not mistaken, rum production in the Philippines dates back to the 1800's, fwiw...
