The Beachcomber Cocktail is a vintage tiki-style drink created by legendary bartender Donn Beach. It’s a tropical, refreshing concoction that blends rum with citrus and a subtle hint of herbal complexity. Light, zesty, and perfectly balanced, the Beachcomber is a lesser-known classic that captures the carefree spirit of island life. It’s a great choice for summer parties, beach lounging, or anytime you’re dreaming of palm trees and ocean breezes.
