UnderTow - Phoenix, Arizona: Three Dots and a Dash

Wednesday, April 4, 2018

My first drink at UnderTow was the Three Dots and a Dash. I've been hearing of this drink for a while and thought it would make a good start at UnderTow. Three Dots and a Dash was created by Donn Beach during WW2. The drink's name refers to the letter V in morse code which stood victory. 

The other tiki glass I bought also featured the  art of Danny "Tiki Diablo" Gallardo. Same images as the other but this one in gold rather than orange. 

 Fantastic souvenir.

Happy Birthday

Happy 110th birthday to Don the Beachcomber!

Don the Beachcomber Quote

Donn Beach is the man credited as creator of the tropical drink genre out of which came the mai tai, often considered to be the premier cocktail in this specific subgroup of libations. Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron, a contemporary and rival of Beach's, also takes credit for inventing the mai tai.
