Diki-Diki sounds like a rum cocktail, tiki-style, fruity and refreshing, served in a tiki glass… but in fact, it isn’t.

Diki-Diki is a cocktail adapted from Harry Craddock 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book and also appears in William Tarling’s 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book.

The cocktail is named after Panglima Diki-Diki who was a dwarf king and hereditary ruler of the island of Ubian in the Southern Philippines.
