From the classic tiki drinks such as Mai Tai's to the exotic Skinny Dipper, this deck features 52 laminated cards and includes

6 paper umbrellas to garnish your beverages in style! Cute little addition to your tiki bar.

I love this! Got it today. The recipes are simple, easy to read, and although I haven't had a chance to test any of them out they sound delicious!
Awesome way to do drinks. Pull out the recipe and put it on the bar or clip it to your bamboo. I really think anyone who has a Tiki bar or likes Tiki drinks will love this.

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!

These Cards will simplify the FUN!! Enjoy and you even get the little umbrellas!!

Check out these quotes from a June 2009 Washington Post article on TIKI drinks come-back in 2009:

"In Washington, we've been tiki-starved pretty much since the Nixon administration, when Tricky Dick would drag the likes of Henry Kissinger to the local Trader Vic's for mai tais. But things are starting to come around.

Luckily, this time there is a new generation of fine bartenders who are making sure that classics such as the mai tai, the zombie, the Navy Grog and, yes, the Scorpion Bowl are done the right way. Just last week Agraria Restaurant, along the Georgetown waterfront, unveiled a collection of tiki drinks on the cocktail menu. "I think tiki is a great genre of classic cocktails that's been overlooked," says Jon Arroyo, executive bar chef at both Agraria and Founding Farmers. "These drinks haven't been done here in D.C. for a long time, or if they have, they haven't been done right."

"Done right, these drinks seem to make the summer last just a little bit longer, which is why our summer cocktail package this year doubles as an offering to the tiki gods. Right now, as the days get hotter, it's the perfect time to bust out the grass skirt, restring the ukulele and dust off some old Martin Denny exotica albums while you try your hand at mixing up some classics.
