Berry’s definition is based on Don the Beachcomber’s approach: A tiki drink, he says, is a Caribbean drink squared, and in some cases cubed. Don’s inspiration for almost all of the drinks he created was the Planter’s Punch — rum, lime and sugar and maybe some bitters. “And he took that very simple construct and multiplied everything by a factor of two or three. Instead of lime juice, what happens when you put lime and grapefruit together? Multiple sours, multiple citrus. Same thing with the sweetness. Instead of just sugar, what happens if we put in honey, or honey and falernum, or honey and falernum and passion fruit syrup?”
LoL, Donn Beach sounds like me. "Mmm, that Malibu and pineapple juice and macadamia nut liqueur tastes good together. What if I added vanilla syrup? Mmm, even better! Now what if I added orgeat? Mmm, better yet. Now what if I added passion fruit syrup..."
