A Tiki Drink So Nice They Named It Twice
According to Beachbum Berry, the Nui Nui was first created by Don the Beachcomber in the 1930s and named the Pupule. Eventually, the name was changed to the Nui Nui. The recipe can also be found in the Smuggler's Cove book under the original name, Pupule.
This has continued to be my favorite of the Don drinks. It's not the booziest, most complex, or most famous of his exotic cocktails but it's an excellent example of a drink that easily showcases all of it's ingredients.

You are not cancelled. Pernod can be tricky and for sure can overwhelm the cocktail.
Just have to mention that your production quality is top notch
Just made this after seeing your recipe. I usually lean towards the pineapple/coconut tasting drinks but this cocktail is exceptionally well-balanced. Thanks and cheers!
It’s ok for you to not like something we all have different taste buds
Pupule is one of my favorite in Smuggler's Cove so I'll definitely have to try this. I always use Bacardi 8 for it.
Don't worry Derek, even most French don't like pernod except crazy southerners
No worries about Pernod/absinthe. Definitely needs a deft touch, or easy to eliminate if you do not like that black licorice flavor.
Flor De Cana 7 or 18 works great for this. Very complex and very tropical tasting. You’re right if I want to make something for a novice or newbie this is perfect!😊
2-Timers Club .... When Derek features the same cocktail in 2 videos you gotta make the drink.
As always, quality content & drink
Funny you released this video now, as I was actually planning to make nui nui's for myself and my dad tonight 🗿👍

Its a great winter / holiday drink!
Totally with you on the absinth etc
I absolutely love this cocktail!
I agree about the whole Pernod/anise/licorice thing. NOT a fan in general. Does anyone else remember J. Akuhead Pupule? Disk jockey from back in my youth? Thanks, Derek!
Alright, this one is too good. I had to make it as I watched 😂 And completely agree about the flavour - the spiced syrups work so well together here.
Beautifully produced video. Bravo!
I’ve been using your specs from your original video and feel I might enjoy that more cheers!
that's it I unsubscribed since you don't like Absinthe... And resubscribed because of the great content!
I use an atomizer for my Absinthe because of that reason. One mist in the tin and that’s it.
I was all set to disagree with you about the absinthe. I got mine from a friend who's a top drawer vintner in Sonoma who grows his own wormwood and distills absinthe for personal consumption that's second to none and better than anything I've had on the market. I'm delighted to use it whenever called for. I tried this cocktail both ways fully expecting to prefer it with absinthe. But in this case, with this particular cocktail-you're right. It's better without it.
My goodness i def need to make this drink
your right about absinthe, I'm not a huge fan of it either but I don't mind Herbsaint in the Dr.Funk! that's probably because the Hamilton Pot Still Black is so strong it doesn't give the Herbsaint a chance to punch through lol, it's actually a nice balance.
My favourite tiki cocktail!
Guess I'm making some vanilla and cinnamon syrups this weekend! 😉
More tropical and Tiki Cocktails Please¡¡
Just saw this drink on the tiki subreddit this morning, now a full video here. Might have to actually make that vanilla and cinnamon syrup one of these days...

I use cinnamon syrup all the time this time of year, even as a substitute for regular syrup to spice things up. Using a little bit in an Old Fashioned for example makes experimenting with different bottles a lot of fun
I feel like we are leaving the age of Saturn and entering the age of Nui Nui 😀 Fantastic drink featuring Allspice dram, I much prefer it over Three dots.

Pretty soon we’ll be entering the age of Saturn 🪐
Lighter rum are also good for this drink? I don't like aged rum that much :D
Im making this this weekend! If you did make Don’s Mix - do you think the alcohol in the Allspice Dram would extend the shelf life of the vanilla syrup? Or would it only last a few weeks regardless?

I'm not sure since St Elizabeth is 22% ABV you'd be cutting it in half but also increasing sugar. I use a 2:1 vanilla that I keep in the fridge for many, many months.
