Two Fridays ago, I sought some tropical refreshment, so I reached for Trader Vic's 1972 Bartender's Guide. There, I was lured in by one of Vic's originals, the Hana Punch, that seemed rather simple but refreshing. Once prepared, the punch proffered a mint aroma from the garnish over pineapple notes from the drink itself. Next, lemon and pineapple on the sip transitioned into rum and more pineapple flavors on the swallow.
