Missionary’s Downfall
Adapted from Ned King (Gigantic, Easthampton, MA), based on Don the Beachcomber
This is a Don the Beachcomber original from 1937. Ned King has spent a lot of time perfecting this recipe, which is fresh and bright. We’ve taken a couple of small liberties to minimize our supply list, but the spirit of Ned’s spec for this early tiki classic shines through.

1¼ oz. white rum or rhum agricole blanc

½ oz. “apriçao” or peach liqueur
½ oz. orgeat

1 pineapple slice, for garnish
