The Missionary’s Downfall is a classic tiki cocktail that was created in the 1930s by Don the Beachcomber at his bar in Hollywood, California. Several variations of the drink exist today, but the classic typically calls for white rum, lime, crème de pêche, honey, pineapple, and mint. This version by Scotty Schuder, owner of the tiki bar Dirty Dick in Paris, is similar but swaps out lime for lemon, uses less honey syrup, and adds more peach flavor to create an equally tasty tropical beverage.
Add rum, lemon juice, crème de pêche, honey syrup, pineapple cubes, mint leaves, and cubed ice to a blender.
Blend until desired texture.
Pour into a snifter or tiki glass.
Garnish with pineapple wedge, mint sprig, and orchid blossom.
