“When we do classic tiki cocktails we stick as close as possible to the original recipe,” explains Scotty Schuder, owner of Paris’s tiki den, Dirty Dick. To update the Don the Beachcomber recipe for modern palates, Schuder simply swaps lime juice for lemon and dials back the honey mix to account for the concentrated sweetness of crème de peche.
