By Don The Beachcomber, circa 1937. An unpublished recipe from Beachcomber employee Dick Santiago's private notebook. This drink was probably named after "The Book of Puka-Puka: A lone Trander on a South Seas Attoll", an 1929 memoir by Robert Dean Frisbee -- a genuine beachcomber who left Ohio for the Cook Islands to escape 'the noisy clamor of the civilized world.'
