Beachbum Berry's Sippin' Safari: In Search of the Great "Lost Tropical Drink Recipes and the People Behind Them"

incredible look at the Poly Pop movement , what a great author - his app is stunning too 👍

I found this book good for the history of the tiki bartenders in the era, what they did and where they went. It follows their lives in bars how they started, how hard they worked and cocktails that were lost recipes (zombie and others). Buy this book if you want a good read about the Tiki culture in its day. Just finished it and have just starting to read it again

This 10th Anniversary Edition is a Jeff Berry book done right. Finally. I say that because the earlier, spiral-bound books are full of typos and clip art that make them look like they were put together in a couple days, whereas this book is beautiful throughout. There aren’t as many recipes as you’ll find in other books, but these are the ORIGINAL versions created back in the day, before they were altered or cheapened by others. Even better, it’s also the interesting origin stories behind those drinks and they’re accompanied by related memorabilia and vintage photos. I have just about all the tiki drink recipe books and this is one my favorites (along with Cocktail Codex, Potions of the Caribbean, Trader Vic’s Bartender’s Guide, and Smuggler’s Cove). It’s pricey but worth it.

Every tiki enthusiast needs this one.
