Tiki drinks or exotic cocktails. These types of drinks are a class of cocktail generally containing rum and one or more fruit juices. They are usually garnished with Maraschino cherries or other fruit and often further ornamented with cocktail umbrellas
Mai Tai Recipes
This is Trader Vic's Original Mai Tai recipe. You'll note that there's nary a drop of orange or pineapple juice. For this reason, Mai Tais made with any sort of juice (besides lime juice) are not "true" Mai Tais.
The Original Formula - 1944
2 ounces of 17-year old J. Wray & Nephew Rum over shaved ice.
Add juice from one fresh lime.
1/2 ounce Holland DeKuyper Orange Curacao.
1/4 ounce Trader Vic's Rock Candy Syrup.
1/2 ounce French Garier Orgeat Syrup
Shake vigorously.
Add a sprig of fresh mint
"Old Way" Mai Tai Formula - 1997
1 ounce Fine Jamaican Rum (15 or 8 year old)
1 ounce Martinique Rum (St. James)
1/2 ounce Orange Curacao
1/2 ounce Orgeat Syrup
Juice from one fresh lime (about 3/4 ounce)
Mix and serve as in the Original Formula
The original Tiki bars flourished for about 30 years, and then soon fell out of vogue. In the 1990s, the Tiki culture was revived by a new generation of fans and new tiki bars were founded all over the world that often looked to Trader Vic's and Don the Beachcomber for inspiration.
Tiki Mugs Tiki cocktails
Many tiki bars have their own house specialty drinks, the recipes for which are often carefully guarded to prevent imitation by other bars. Various kinds of rum and blue Curaçao are common ingredients, along with tropical fruit juices and bitters. Cocktails can be very complicated and dramatic, served in decorated ceramic vessels in the shapes of tikis (called "tiki mugs"), coconut shells or volcanoes among the more popular styles. Cocktails are often garnished with paper cocktail umbrellas, live flowers or plastic animals. A "scorpion bowl" is a popular cocktail that is served in a ceramic bowl for communal drinking. A variation on the scorpion bowl is the "volcano bowl." Also a communal drink, the volcano bowl drink is traditionally served in a ceramic bowl (similar to a scorpion bowl), but with a raised reservoir in the center, generally resembling a volcano. The reservoir is typically filled with 151 proof alcohol and lit on fire.
