Every once in a while a book comes along that you just feel you have to have, that then exceeds your expectations. This is that book for me. The Home Bar Guide to Tropical Cocktails was written by Kelly “Hiphipahula” Reilly and “Trader” Tom Morgan about their home Tiki bartending exploits. They have collected original drink recipes from their time mixing up cocktails for their friends at private parties. I have adopted two of theses recipes in my Tiki Lounge: Charlie Chan’s Solution and Taboo Tsantsa. These are a couple of my favorite cocktails. Mahalo, Kelly and Tom!
