Mahalo Nomads & Beachcombers, Castaways, Drifters & Dreamers...

Face Beside the Fire is a forbidden island in the mind where conformity and dogma receive no neural berth.

Here the frenetic pace of modern life is but a distant memory and the natural world beckons you to indulge the primitive, the sensuous and sublime.

It is a place as timeless as infinity and infinite as imagination.

An Elixir to Calm the Savage Beast

"Careful man, there's a beverage here"
- Jeff "the Dude" Lebowski
"I originated and have served this thing since 1934... Anyone that says otherwise is a liar!"
- Donn Beach (aka Don the Beachcomber)











Zombie Punch
From 1937 notebook of Beachcomber's waiter Dick Santiago - decoded by Jeff Berry in "Sippin' Safari". This is apparently the original version of the drink, although Donn would later modify it over time.

3/4 oz. lime juice
1/2 oz. Don's Mix
1/2 oz Falernum
1 1/2 oz. Lowndes Jamaican rum
1 1/2 oz. gold Puerto Rican rum
1 oz. 151-proof Demerara rum
Dash Angostura bitters
6 drops Hersaint or Pernod
1 tsp. Grenadine
6 oz. crushed ice

Put all into blender, with ice last. Blend for five seconds. Pour into glass and garnish with mint sprig. NOTE: Don's mix is 2 parts grapefruit juice, 1 part cinnamon-infused sugar syrup
