Happy Birthday, You Old Zombie Slinger!
Today would've been the 100th birthday of the father of Polynesian Pop, and creator of some of the greatest tropical cocktails of all time. So everyone raise their Zombie, Rum Barrel, or (if you believe his claims) Mai Tai on high, and toast Donn Beach, AKA Don the Beachcomber.

Dammit, to bad we're on a week-long detox.

I'd suggest making a virgin Zombie, but if you took out the rum, there'd be practically nothing left to drink!

Speaking of Dons, I have a huge soft spot for Don Ho. It's a childhood thing. :>

Cool! Now I know what to get you for your birthday, which by the way, is only 3 days before mine.
