Adapted from a recipe created by Martin Cate at his Smuggler's Cove bar in San Francisco, USA. Martin says in his 2016 book Smuggler's Cove, that he created this cocktail "for my old pal Falin Minoru, artist and proprietor of Tiki Kaimuki Fine Boozing Vessels, tiki mugs made in Oakland, California."
