Between <\/span>tiki-style drinks<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>the Caribbean classics<\/span><\/a> and much more, tropical drinking is far from one thing. And hidden beneath the spotlight that favorites like the Mai Tai and the Pi\u00f1a Colada demand this time of year is a trove of lesser-known recipes that deserve more attention. These five cocktails\u2014from a little-known Daiquiri variation to the Philippines\u2019 answer to a Singapore Sling\u2014are a good place to start.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

The Pago Pago, essentially a Daiquiri made with Chartreuse and cr\u00e8me de cacao, was created by the rum brand Ronrico in the 1940s, and it appears in the second edition of Hyman Gale and Gerald F. Marco\u2019s The How and When<\/i>. While it\u2019s not a tiki drink, the cocktail\u2014which shares a name with the capital of Samoa\u2014has some of the hallmarks of the genre. Paul McGee, who has revived the drink at Echo Lake<\/a>, likens it to Donn the Beachcomber\u2019s style.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s best known for using dual citrus and layering a lot of different flavors,\u201d McGee says. The cocktail has become a favorite among both rum nerds and those new to the spirit. \u201cThat\u2019s the genius of this drink,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s so approachable, yet, if you look for it, you find the layers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailing from the Philippines in the early 20th century, this cocktail pays homage to the boxer Francisco Villaruel Guilledo, whose moniker was Pancho Villa. With its gin, pineapple juice and fruit liqueurs, the drink is Singapore Sling\u2013like, though it differs with its inclusion of gold rum. When Manila-born, New York\u2013based bartender Marlo Gamora first came across the cocktail, the original recipe was \u201cnot balanced at all,\u201d he says. His version<\/a> skews more rum-forward, with more acid, to cater to modern palates. While the original was served with a salty olive, Gamora says<\/a> it\u2019s best served with lumpia\u2014Filipino spring rolls.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent years, aperitivo and tiki-style drinks have often found themselves intermingled, whether in the modern classic <\/span>Jungle Bird<\/span><\/a> or in <\/span>the fleet of bitter Mai Tais<\/span><\/a>. On the flip side, the hybrid of digestivo and tropical is a less-trodden path, maybe because the dark and brooding vibe of the former feels incongruous with the fruit-forward palate of the latter. The <\/span>Away Colors<\/span><\/a> is one of the rare drinks that bridges the gap. Created at New York\u2019s now-shuttered Lion Lion, the drink simply combines a\u00f1ejo rum, Fernet-Branca and banana liqueur, and has popped up on menus around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

A mix of aguardiente de ca\u00f1a, honey, lime juice and water, the Canch\u00e1nchara<\/a> is \u201cthe original Cuban cocktail,\u201d according to Cabrera. The simple cocktail was created by guerilla fighters of the Cuban Wars of Independence, originally as a restorative for enslaved people working on plantations. In his riff, <\/span>La Chancleta<\/span><\/a>, Cabrera uses <\/span>cacha\u00e7a<\/span><\/a> and a ginger-infused honey syrup, which puts a spicy spin on the template.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

It may come as a surprise to know that dairy once played a major role at tiki bars. Throughout the mid-20th century, dessert drinks like the Banana Cow (rum, brandy, B\u00e9n\u00e9dictine, banana and cream) were served as a foil to the citrusy, fruit-forward tropical drinks the genre is better known for today. For New York bartender Jelani Johnson, the <\/span>Rum Cow<\/span><\/a> (rum, milk and sugar) is a standout in the category of tropical dairy drinks. His maximalist take<\/a> splits the rum portion between four expressions and adds two syrups and two types of bitters. Though he says guests are initially skeptical when hearing about the drink, once it\u2019s on the bar in its eye-catching milkshake glass, \u201ceverybody wants to try it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n
