Kon Tiki is a tropical cocktail that originated in the 1940s and has since become a popular choice for those looking to enjoy a taste of the tropics. This refreshing drink combines rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, and other ingredients to create a deliciously fruity and tangy beverage.
The origins of the Kon Tiki cocktail can be traced back to Donn Beach, also known as Don the Beachcomber, who was a pioneer in tiki culture and responsible for popularizing Polynesian-inspired cocktails in America.
