Summary: Cocktail dream!
Review: Great little book to have around. Not only does it have great recipes, but tips and trivia to go along with them. The appetizer section is to die for and you have resources for everything. Great for novice on up. This is one I will keep close at hand.

Review: The Great Tiki Drink Book is an excellent introduction into the drinks that were spawned from the tiki culture. The book starts off with an introduction to the tiki culture tracing its roots from Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic in the late 1930's to the present day tiki revival. The drink recipes are easy to follow and there are handy footnotes on where to find certain unusual ingredients that are part of the recipes. The book also contains tiki inspired food recipes that will help you create your very own tiki party.

Review: You can be the first in YOUR neighborhood to jump on the Tiki revival with this mouthwatering slim-jim book packed with delicious sounding (and looking) Tiki drinks and nibbly go-withs. The beauty of the recipes is that they are somewhat adapted to modern taste-- not too sweet and using ingredients (like lemongrass) that our Tiki forbears probably never heard of. There are recipes for quick sour mixes, an easy and inteteresting rum glossary, tiki lore (answers just what IS tiki anyways?), great graphics and photos. Also an excellent source list for All Things Tiki. The book is fun without being condescending. Well worth the affordable ticket.
