Shag's Tiki Drinks Deck: 52 Ways to Shake Your Way to Paradise Edition (Case Bound Card Deck) [Cards]

Adam Rocke (Author), Shag (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 30, 2004

Light the torches and grab the tiny paper umbrellas — the ultimate guide to delicious tiki beverages can be found in this colorful boxed deck of cards that features retro hipster artist Shag's witty illustrations. In this variant on Tiki Drinks, former bartender Adam Rocke selects his favorite luau libations and cool cocktails. The effect of "tiki" or "boat" drinks, he says, is to evoke the sensation of being marooned on an exotic island with a bevy of insignificant others eager to do your bidding. Fifty-two of the best tropical drink recipes are featured here, including piña coladas, daiquiris, 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.

Okay, first of all I need to confess that as a former Hawaii resident, I love all things Tiki. Secondly, I also happen to love Shag's unique take on midcentury modern artistry. Third, I fancy myself an amateur mixologist. So you can see how a Tiki bartending product with Shag art would attain the perfect trifecta for me personally. If you share similar tastes/bad habits, then I recommend this deck of cards to you!
