Donn Beach, born Ernest Raymond Gantt, (February 22, 1907 – June 7, 1989) was one of two famous “founding fathers” of famed post-World War tiki drink culture. He opened the first tiki bar, Don the Beachcomber, during 1930s Post-Prohibition Hollywood and later expanded to a chain of dozens of restaurants throughout the United States. He is also credited with creating the potent Zombie cocktail.
