There are only a select number of gin cocktails in the tiki canon, but the Pan Daisy could be the next inductee. It’s essentially a gin daisy tiki-fied by the addition of Don’s Mix, Don the Beachcomber’s brilliant pairing of cinnamon syrup and grapefruit juice. The splash of aquavit pushes forward subtle spices that make this refreshing drink “equal parts crushable and curious” according to the New York– based Fitzsimmons.
