Perfect Tiki cocktails November 13, 2008
This is the end result of research and testing (that must have been rough) into the classical exotica cocktails of the past. I haven't had a bad drink out of this book yet. No corners cut. Many of the drinks have hard-to-find ingredients. But that's the right thing to make the drinks correctly. I can't praise this book enough. It belongs in every Tiki Bar on this fair planet.
Mix Drinks Better than Bartenders! December 29, 2007
This book will spoil you into never ordering a cocktail out again. Beachbum Berry has been featured in the New York Times and other publications for his work in unearthing these fabulous drink recipes from the tiki era. The drinks are tasty, and stout. Not the watered down junk versions you've had in modern bars. This spiral bound, lay flat while you mix book will transform you into a cocktail chef. The owner of my local package store says I have the best stocked bar in town since buying this book. Lots of fun finding out about new ingredients and trying new tastes.
THANKS BEACHBUM BERRY!

I am a cocktail snob and emmersed in tiki culture and the Atomic Age. Get this fantastic tome, a bottle of Falernum and Orgeat and your bar stuff, plus my Grogalizer found on my Swank Pad site and you are making the best cocktails on earth. No one should be without this book!
The ONLY Tiki Recipe book you'll ever need April 17, 2005

Joe Bob Briggs from UPI called this "the best bartender's guide for tropical and rum drinks ever published". That, my friends, is an understatement. Forget those fancy and useless trendy tiki books that have to be gussied up with Shag illustrations and glossy printing, if you've already bought those: use 'em as coasters for the wonderfully entertaining and informative "Grog Log". From a pair who can navigate the tikiphyte through the Singapore Slings and arrows of the sugary crap that give tropical drinks a bad name. Easily worth 5 times the cover price, "The Grog Log" and the follow-up "Intoxica!" are the only Tiki drink books you'll ever need or want.

Alright, I'm going to keep it short and to the point. I'm a Tiki geek, I've got every book related to the subject and, along with The Book of Tiki, this book and it's sequal Intoxica are the Holy Trinity of the Tiki Religion. There is no better book on Tropical Drinks anywhere, ever. Buy it. Now.
