About the Cobra's Fang

The Cobra's Fang is a tiki-style sour drink featuring overproof rum as its base. Its combination of passion fruit, citrus juices, and exotic syrups creates a tropical yet complex profile with a hint of danger.

History

Created by Donn Beach for The Beachcomber, this cocktail was part of a collection of theatrical drinks meant to evoke faux-danger in an exotic tropical setting. It was originally served in a tall curved glass and cost $1 in 1941.
