Trivia

  1. Most likely created at the club of the same name in the late 1930s or early 1940s. The oldest printed reference to the recipe comes from Crosby Gaige's Cocktail Guide & Ladies Companion (1941). In it, it is described as "one of the best rum drinks on the island".

  2. The cocktail was then popularized by Trader Vic, and published in his 1947 book Bartender's Guide by Trader Vic. It is this association, and the particular ingredients being used, that often moves this recipe to Tiki territory, and it is commonly described as a "Tikified Daiquiri".

  3. The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club was established on November 1, 1844 by a group of British Royal Navy officers and Bermudian sailors. These sailors would often partake in match racing, where two boats would go against one another with a hefty sum being wagered.

  4. Ironically enough, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club cocktail is not currently featured in the Club's menu.
