The Home Bar Guide To Tropical Cocktails

'Craft Cocktails' are cocktails in which every element is handmade or tailored specifically to the drink. These cocktails are made slowly and with great care and attention to detail, in a similar vein to the artisan food or 'slow food' movement of recent years. They are intended for a hip, discerning and ultimately appreciative audience.

Description

The Home Bar Guide To Tropical Cocktails delves into the world of 'Craft Cocktails', where every element is handmade or tailored specifically to the drink. These cocktails are crafted with patience, great care, and attention to detail, similar to the artisan food or 'slow food' movement of recent years. They are intended for a hip, discerning, and ultimately appreciative audience.

Craft Tiki cocktails, alongside Tiki culture in general, fell out of favour with the public for a time, being regarded as somewhat antiquated and very much of a bygone era. However, in recent years, the Tiki scene has exploded once again. A whole new generation of enthusiasts is getting in on the act, continuing this vibrant, close-knit community.

The book offers a collection of 153 cocktail recipes and provides advice on setting up your own home Tiki bar. The authors inspire readers by showcasing the most celebrated home bars around. The text also explores the history of this fast-growing movement, where people dream of creating a personal paradise in their own backyards – their very own Tiki oasis.

Authors Kelly Reilly, Tom Morgan, and Sven Kirsten were featured on the popular lounge, tiki, and swank podcast Cocktail Nation with Koop Kooper. Listen here.
