Three Dots and a Dash

Three Dots and a Dash

The Three Dots and a Dash cocktail was created in 2007 by renowned mixologist Jeff Berry, paying homage to modern tiki culture. The name of this cocktail is derived from the Morse code for the letter 'V' (…–), symbolizing victory (Victory) in World War II. It combines various rums and tropical flavors, garnished with three cherries and a slice of pineapple (visually presenting 'three dots and a dash'), becoming a representative work of the 21st-century tiki revival. In 2013, the bar 'Three Dots and a Dash' opened in Chicago, further boosting the reputation of this drink and the revival of tiki culture.

Flavor
The Three Dots and a Dash blends the herbal notes of agricultural rum with the woody undertones of aged rum, complemented by the complex spice flavors of falernum and allspice dram. The freshness of citrus juices balances the sweetness of honey, resulting in a rich tropical profile with multiple layers and a long, lingering finish that combines the freshness of fruit with the warmth of spices.
