Missionary's Downfall
Tropical mint trouble
A blended tiki classic loaded with fresh mint, peach, and pineapple. Impossibly smooth and refreshing — the kind of drink that converts the skeptical.
Ingredients
- 1 oz White Rum
- 1/2 oz Peach Liqueur
- 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Honey Syrup
- 1 oz Pineapple Juice
- 8 leaves Fresh Mint
Method
Add all ingredients to a blender with a cup of crushed ice. Blend until smooth and frothy. Pour into a hurricane glass. Garnish with a mint sprig and pineapple frond.
Created in the late 1930s by Donn Beach at Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood (possibly 1937, per Beachbum Berry Remixed, though sources show conflicting dates through the early 1940s). Documented by Jeff Beachbum Berry in Beachbum Berry Remixed. Per Difford's Guide #1334. IBA New Era list.
