Three Dots and a Dash

The Three Dots and a Dash is a classic tiki cocktail created by Donn Beach (Don the Beachcomber) during World War II to celebrate the Allied victory. Its name is the Morse code for “V” (for Victory), a theme that is mirrored in its unique garnish of three cherries (the dots) and a pineapple stick or frond (the dash).

1.5oz rhum agricole pressed sugar cane based(preferably aged Martinique rhum)
1/2 oz aged blended rum mollasses-based (such as a Demerara-style rum from Guyana) or dark Jamaican rum
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz orange juice
1/2 oz honey syrup
1/4 oz Falernum liqueur (John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum)
1/4 oz Allspice Dram (Pimento Dram)
1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake all ingredients with a cup of crushed ice.
Pour unstrained (dirty dump) into a tall glass and top with more ice.
Garnish with three cherries, a rectangular pineapple chunk, and a thin straw.
