The Pocket Tiki Bar

$19⁹⁹

An essential guide to Tiki Bar culture and its cocktails - with over 20 tropical recipes.

Description

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

Hugely popular during their heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, Tiki cocktails have recently enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, with many of us now appreciating their retro nautical styling and cocktail innovation.

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?). You’ll 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 the 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.

Gemini Pockets

From little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion, and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.
