Exotic drinks, Hawaiian shirts, bamboo, hula girls in straw skirts, carved Polynesian wooden statues, palm trees and thatched roofs whats not to love?

This small-but-mighty guide to Tiki Bars and cocktails is packed with over 20 recipes covering the classics (think Mai Tai, Pina Colada and Tequila Sunrise) and introducing some lesser-known concoctions (Snow in Hawaii or Corpse Reviver anyone?). Youll also find tips and tricks for the all-important garnishes (yes please banana dolphins and citrus feathers), and learn how to choose the right glassware to ensure you serve perfect tipple.
Discover how Tiki Bars began: from its roots in Polynesian and Micronesian culture to the roles that prohibition and Hollywood glamour played in establishing the drinks style we know and love today. From its kitsch theme bars to the bartenders and characters who created the now-classic recipes, The Pocket Tiki Bar is a treasure trove of all things tropical.
