After Don the Beachcomber was commissioned by the United States Army Air Corps, he was sent to run the officer's halls at the Santa Ana Army base and the Carlsbad Airfield in New Mexico. Later in the war he was sent to Europe where he was tasked wth running all of the rest homes for the 15th Air Force. Don went to great lengths to make sure the airmen he served experienced an escape from the war.
Three dots and a dash is Morse code for the letter "V" which was used to signify Victory and the end of the World War II.

Thanks for the recipe...and the reminder of what airmen suffered during ww2. The history of that time seems to have been forgotten by many today.

With Memorial Day coming up, I'd say this was a perfectly timed video. We have to be reminded time and again what many people of an entire generation faced. At my Grandpa's 100th birthday celebration earlier this year he shared his own experience. He was young when the war started and took a couple Farm deferments before joining the Army. He was made an infantry man and after boot camp was sent to the Philippines. His unit was shipped to the front lines fighting the last of the Japanese resistance on the islands. He could hear machine guns and mortars. Turned out it was the last day of the war and the whole unit was told to return to camp. He spent the rest of his enlistment working in the Mess kitchens still in the Philippines and even made Sergeant. I'll never forget talking with a gentleman who was at Bastogne, part of Patton's 3rd Army. All he would really say is that he hated the cold. One of the nicest, most soft spoke gentlemen I ever had the pleasure to meet. I'd say it's unimaginable what happened, but someone had to do just that for it to happen. I think I'll be giving this drink a try in a couple weekends.

The drink that got me into tiki. Took my wife to the namesake bar in Chicago on her birthday in 2018. Ordered the drink and it completely blew my mind. I remember reading the ingredients as I sipped: “What’s falernum? Pimento dram? Agricole?” I had to know. I had to be able to make this at home. Awesome job on the history!

Really enjoyed your background on DB and his contributions during the war years athe background on the cocktail. I think that some RU-vidrs are a bit too snarky about old Donn and really minimize what he was trying to do for our airmen. They lose sight that during that time everyone was trying to use whatever talents they had to contribute to the effort. Donn definitely did his part and you definitely captured it well in your segment. Cheers and well done!

54 comments after 6 hours. Glad to see your channel is growing. I love this cocktail, and love the recipe. I also add 1/2 oz of Jamaican rum (I use Appleton 12) for a bit of funk (balance with slightly more orange juice and lime juice). Great video, love the bit of history. Hoping to get to the bar in Chicago sometime.

There's been some discussion on what the appropriate rum to use in the Three Dots, because while it does call for an aged Martinique rum, Donn describes it's flavor as dark and molasses like. Which certainly isn't an agricole. Some believe a more appropriate rum here would be a dark jamaican instead. Did you run into this discrepancy when researching this cocktail?
@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink Месяц назад
Kind of but the cocktail became the least important aspect when putting this video together, and I just wanted to go with the most common recipe (s) out there. But when it comes to all the discrepancies with what a Martinique rum would have been like in back in the 1940s-1980s it’s incredibly hard to say one way or the other. Not to go even deeper in the Mai tai rabbit hole but there’s still a ton of disagreement on that, and there’s way more evidence and writings from Vic about what that rum would have tasted like.
@ApothecaryAlyth
@ApothecaryAlyth Месяц назад
I'll need to catch Masters of the Air soon. For this cocktail, I prefer the Paul McGee version via Lost Lake, which uses orange liqueur instead of orange juice. I also like to tinker with the rum here, since what we know today as rhum argicole is not really the same thing that Don would've been mixing with in the 1940s. Though it does work great with a modern agricole too of course.
@makeanddrink
@makeanddrink Месяц назад
I'm still not convinced with Don the Beachcomber drinks on what type of rhum from Martinique was used. We know the brands from his menus and it's likely that some were sugar cane juice, so I'm reserving judgement until each of those rhums can be parsed out more definitely.
@HeyBoz-04
@HeyBoz-04 Месяц назад
I really hate to say it, but I really wish Don didn't have so many drinks that required a Mix Master. My wife will drop a safe on my head if I buy one. She tolerates my tiki beverage fascination, but only so far.
