Tiki Drinks

About this book

Light the torches and grab the tiny paper umbrellas - the handbook of delicious tiki beverages is here. In Tiki Drinks former bartender Adam Rocke selects his favorite tropical libations. The effect of "tiki" or "boat" drinks says the author is to evoke the sensation of being marooned on a tropical island with a bevy of insignificant others eager to do your bidding. 50 of the best tropical drink recipes include pina coladas daiquiris tropical punches margaritas freezes coolers and other classics that will conjure island breezes and rolling waves. Lesser-known but equally transporting drinks include such creative variations as the Pirates Cove Buccaneer Zombie Frozen Mudslide and Bahama Mama. In addition to serving up liquid exotica Rocke offers tips on mixers glasses and serving techniques - all necessary accoutrements of the pro or amateur bartender who wants to keep the natives restless.
