Light the torches and grab the tiny paper umbrellas - the handbook of delicious tiki beverages is here. In Tiki Drinks, former bartender Adam Rocke selects his favorite tropical libations. The effect of "tiki" or "boat" drinks, says the author, is to evoke the sensation of being marooned on a tropical island with a bevy of insignificant others eager to do your bidding. 50 of the best tropical drink recipes include pina coladas, daiquiris, tropical punches, margaritas, freezes, coolers, and other classics that will conjure island breezes and rolling waves. Lesser-known but equally transporting drinks include such creative variations as the Pirate's Cove, Buccaneer, Zombie, Frozen Mudslide, and Bahama Mama. In addition to serving up liquid exotica, Rocke offers tips on mixers, glasses, and serving techniques - all necessary accoutrements of the pro or amateur bartender who wants to keep the natives restless.

About the Author

Adam Rocke is the author of Atomic Bodyslams to Whiskey Zippers - Cocktails for the 21st Century (Surrey Books, $10.95). A native of upstate New York, he grew up at his family�s resort, The Nevele, where he learned to mix a mean Mai Tai by the age of ten. After Cornell University and Arizona State, Rocke tended bar at some of Hollywood�s top nightspots, inventing new cocktails, gleaning gossip from the stars, and writing screenplays, some of which have been produced. The peripatetic Rocke studied cocktails in Florida and the Caribbean, and has decided to settle down to writing full time in Los Angeles. His articles have appeared in GQ and Maxim magazines.

Josh Agle, (AKA Shag) is an illustrator and painter with an admiration for the clean, tight graphic style of '50s and '60s commercial art and illustration. Agle has signed his commercial art "Shag" since 1988, long pre-dating the current cultural infatuation with groovy-go-go-Brit-slang. Shag's illustrations have appeared in mainstream media like Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and Forbes, as well as many other publications. Shag lives with his wife and daughter in their Southern California hideout, a tiki bar/supervillain's-lair. When not painting, Shag spends his time collecting "lots of old stuff," and working on his 1964 Ford Thunderbird.
