There is some debate about the origin of this drink with some attributing it to the Mai Kai restaurant while others believe that drink to have come from Don the Beachcomber's Skull and Bones. The version here is really from Hale Pele from what I have gathered. The difference is that it uses half of the original recipe's grenadine and makes up for it with cinnamon syrup. I made both versions at home and prefer it with the cinnamon syrup.

I have also made this using 1/2 oz homemade allspice dram in place of the 1/2 oz cinnamon syrup and also enjoy that.
