History

Named after the Morse code for the letter “V,” meaning victory, Three Dots and a Dash was born in the tiki era as a celebratory wartime drink. Layers of rum, spice, and fruit create a complex but inviting profile. The garnish of three cherries and a pineapple spear mirrors its coded name, making it a theatrical, joyful choice for those who love storytelling in their glass.
