Don's cocktails blended multiple versions of rum, as well as multiple citrus juices, sweeteners, and spices in complicated, innovative recipes that took their inspiration from traditional Caribbean punch recipes but added layers of flavor and nuance, according to Jeff "Beachbum" Berry, owner of the tiki bar Latitude 29 in New Orleans. These stereotypes are part of the reason that Kalewa Correa, curator of Hawai'i and Pacific America at the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, says tiki bars make him, a native Hawai'ian, uncomfortable—that and the ubiquitous tikis, Polynesian-style carvings that invoke images of Polynesian gods.
