About this episode
Not just an evocative name, the Missionary's Downfall blends pineapple, rum, mint, peach brandy, and lime, and fits into that category of cocktails we first devour with our eyes. Beyond its stunning appearance lies a fascinating back story, complete with characters like Don the Beachcomber and tales of smuggling mint seeds into Hawaii. Walking us through all of that and more is the Italian-born rum enthusiast and exotic drinks connoisseur, Daniele Dalla Pola. Based in Miami, Daniele is an expert on tiki culture and runs the fantastic adjoining bars Esotico and The Kaona Room.
