History

Clove spice and lime juice harmonise with two rums. A familiar combination, yet still a great cocktail.

This famous Tiki cocktail was created around 1963 by Tony Ramos at the China Trader restaurant in Toluca Lake, California, USA. It was made for the cast of the TV series of the same name, who were filming at the nearby Warner Brothers Studios. The drink was originally served in a distinctive Hawaiian Eye mug, which is now highly collectible.
