Tahiti was known for its tropical cocktails long before Don The Beachcomber and Trader Vic came along in the 1930s. For example, the Doctor Funk came to fame largely because of its popularity in Papeete's clubs in the early 20th century, and tropical cocktails were standard fare even in Papeete's ordinary bars. Just to give one example, Robert Dean Frisbie, in "My Tahitian Village" tells about how, on the day of his arrival in Tahiti in 1920, a ship's captain offered him a rum punch. Martinique rum and fresh tropical fruits were (and are) in ready supply in Tahiti... Still, we need to find the recipes to find out... :wink:
