Donga Punch

Description

The Donga Punch is a classic tiki recipe that was originally created in the 1930s by Don the Beachcomber at his bar in Hollywood, California. This is one of the recipes that was revived when Jeff "Beachbum" Berry dug into tiki history when writing his book Sippin' Safari. Unique to this category, the drink calls for a simple mix of rhum agricole, a type of rum made from sugarcane juice, as well as Don's Mix, and citrus to balance out the spirit's sharp flavor.
