Tiki with a Twist: 75 Cool, Fresh, and Wild Tropical Cocktails

Tiki drinks immediately conjure beach front paradise, tropical fruit, and gloriously lost afternoons. This book by tropical drink master and owner of Lynn’s Hula Hut, Lynn Calvo, gives readers refreshed recipes for nostalgic classics, such as the Mai Tai and the Zombie; original creations such as April Showers and Bayou Berry Tea; and tiki twists on familiar drinks, like the Island Old Fashioned and Guava Mint Caipirinha. Vibrantly illustrated with images of finished drinks, along with expert information on mugs and glassware, infusions, and garnishes, this book is a celebration of the art and technique of this iconic category of drinks--with a twist.

Lynn Calvo is an acclaimed restaurant and bar designer who began her tiki journey catering tiki-inspired events from a truck outfitted with a thatched bar.
