"I learned that in 1969 the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar in Islamorada was an unapologetically kitschy escape—bamboo furniture, beach views, Polynesian masks—where a bartender named John Ebert mixed leftover banana and blackberry liqueurs into what became the Rum Runner, a sweet, fruity concoction served in a plastic cup that captured the island’s lawless energy and laid-back vibe." - Carrie Honaker
