Fresh grapefruit-cinnamon syrup was a secret ingredient used by the original tiki master Don the Beachcomber. Try BG Reynolds Paradise Blend, recently renamed from Don’s Mix, in a classic Donga Punch. In an ice-filled shaker, combine 1½ ounces Rhum Clement VSOP, 1 ounce Paradise Blend and ¾ ounce lime juice. Shake vigorously, strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a grapefruit twist. $12. Available at Intoxicology.
