Beach Bum Berry's Grog Log
Author: Jeff Berry
Publisher: Slave Labor Graphics
ISBN: 9781593622466
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This edition of The Grog Log is NOT SPIRAL BOUND. Tiki bar mixology is a lost art--but the Grog Log rescues it. A twenty-page introduction traces the history of Polynesian Pop, then teaches you everything you need to know about how to make the Grog Log's eighty tropical drink recipies. Many of these recipies have never before been published anywhere--including vintage "lost" recipies by Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic, and long-gone Polynesian restaurants from the island of Manhattan to the islands of Hawaii. Profusely illustrated with vintage tiki menu graphics from the '50 and '60s, with cover art by famed Exotica artist Bosko. Review SIPS - Trader Vic Drank Here By WILLIAM GRIMES As John Glenn was orbiting the earth for the first time, his fellow Americans were deep into the long-lived craze known as tiki. This gaudy life-style package -- a blend of Polynesian kitsch, fake island food and lethal rum drinks -- began in the late 1930's and early 40's with Los Angeles restaurants like Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's, and gradually spread to the suburban patio before fizzling out in the early 1970's. It's back, of course. Jeff Berry and Annene Kaye, serious students of tiki, have compiled a serious tiki cocktail book, "Beachbum Berry's Grog Log." In 96 spiral-bound pages adorned with tiki illustrations, the authors have ranged far and wide to gather classic Polynesian fakes, like the Fog Cutter from Trader Vic's, the Missionary's Downfall from Don the Beachcomber and the Sidewinder's Fang from the Lanai Restaurant in San Mateo, Calif. They have even managed to unearth Manhattan tiki cocktails, like the Hawaiian Room, served at the old Hotel Lexington in the 1940's, and the Headhunter, served at the Hawaii Kai in the 1960's. The authors have also come up with their own tiki-inspired originals, like Hell in the Pacific (151-proof Demerara rum, lime juice, maraschino liqueur and grenadine), and the Waikikian (light Puerto Rican Rum, dark Jamaican rum, lemon juice, curaao and orgeat syrup). It's no longer possible to eat Tonga Tabu Native Drum Steak, which was a featured menu item at the now-defunct Islander in Beverly Hills ("from the ovens of the ancient goddess of Bora Bora, Pele, Mistress of Flame"), but you can shake up a Shark's Tooth or a Shrunken Skull. As Mr. Berry and Ms. Kaye see it, they are giving the country the perfect drink book for the age of malaise. "If we're going to feel like zombies," they write in their preface, "we may as well be drinking them." END -- Publisher Comments About the Author Jeff Berry is a learned fan of tropical drinks and is perhaps the foremost authority on the subject. He is also a screenwriter and filmaker.

Mai Tai
Author: Randy Woodward
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Coming from the Tahitian phrase 'Maita'i roa ae!' meaning, "very good", this cocktail is considered the king of tiki drinks. It is made of rum, orgeat, lime juice, and orange curacao. For an authentic mai tai, opt for Jamaican aged rum and Jamaican white rum. Better, use rhum agricole since this is the nearest you can get to make a real mai tai. Another unique feature of the Mai Tai is the orgeat, a syrup made from almonds, sugar and orange flower water. The oil from the almonds and the water do not mix fully but you cannot really separate them, even if you try. According to mai tai enthusiasts and reputable bartenders, a mai tai is not a mai tai without the orgeat. Mai Tai is disputably inspired by QB Cooler, a cocktail created by Donn Beach in 1933. Beach was known to be the first to run a tiki bar, designed to reflect the Polynesian culture. Don's Beachcomber is the first tiki-inspired bar to be a chain. In fact, he was known as the founding father of the tiki culture. Aside from the QB Cooler, he also created the Sumatra Kula, Navy Grog and Three Dots and a Dash, among the many others.Victor Bergeron, also known as Trader Vic is credited to have created the Mai Tai as we know today. Trader Vic's is the chain of tiki bars operated by Bergeron. He was known for his eccentric style of serving his cocktails.Although made from different ingredients, patrons claim that the drinks are fairly similar in taste. Trader Vic's creation of the Mai Tai in 1944 is simpler with just 2 kinds rum, lime juice and orgeat as the main ingredients. The QB Cooler of Beach's, created 11 years earlier, was more complicated using three rums, 2 citrus juices, falernum, honey and Angosturra bitters.
