Rhum Agricole and Allspice Dram play a huge role in what is one of the most complex of all classic Tiki drinks.

Named after Morse Code for victory, Three Dots and a Dash was created during WWII by Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt, better known as Don Beach at his Don the Beachcomber's restaurant. This recipe is adapted from the original in Beachbum Berry's Sippin' Safari.
