While many cocktail aficionados out there love to drink a
well-made tiki classic when they are out for drinks, trying to
recreate traditional tiki recipes at home can be a bit
overwhelming, even for the seasoned bartender. Since the ingredient
count can often climb as high as ten or twelve components (and
sometimes even more than that) in some of these cocktails many
people just flat out give up before even attempting any of these
drinks. To help us defeat this mindset, Chloe Frechette (senior
editor for Punch) worked with some fo the best tiki minds in the
world to simplify these daunting recipes for her new book, Easy
Tiki. So tune in this week, as we talk about Mai Tais, tiki history
and what makes a drink authentically tiki.
