Select and pre-chill a DOUBLE OLD-FASHIONED GLASS. Prepare garnish of ICE CONE with straw, lime wedge, mint sprigs and flag. DRY BLEND (without ice) the first 8 ingredients (all but Xanthan gum) on a slow setting and then gradually add Xanthan while continuing to blend. Add 1 scoop of crushed ice and BLEND some more. POUR into chilled glass. Garnish with ice cone with straw running through the centre, lime wedge, mint sprigs bouquet and flag.
Created circa 1940 by Donn Beach at his Don the Beachcomber restaurant and subsequently reimagined by others, most notably Trader Vic. This version is closest to Trader Vic's recipe, but the ice-cone serve is a Donn Beach touch.
