Three Dots And A Dash
During World War II, Ernest Gannt, well known as Don Beach, came up with the recipe for this drink. The name “Three Dots And A Dash” originates from the Morse code signal for the letter “V.” This cocktail is garnished with three maraschino cherries to represent the “dots” and, traditionally, a pineapple fron to represent the “dash;” however, I substituted a lime wedge. This does in fact comprise a split base of Rhum Agricole and an Aged Rum that has been tempered with allspice dram and falernum. These provide a flavour that is just perfect for this mixed drink. Give it a go, and then let me know what you think of it.
