It's most definitely Trader Vic's Tiki Party, as the rums & syrups reccomended are Vic's, and the resource page lists only Vic's, Vic's food products, Tiki Farm (makers of Vic's mugs) and Reyn Spooner (maker of Vic's shirts). The history is very informative, if slightly skewed. But the real gems are some lost drink recipes. I don't know if any of these are in the '74 Vic's bartending guide, but you get the Aku Aku, Boomerang, Mr. Nephew's Daiquiri, Drunken Apricot, Honolulu, PB2Y2(!), Shingle Stain, and many more. I now have something to put my vintage Shingle Stain drink covers on- at last. Check it out. [ Edited by: martiki on 2005-06-16 17:48 ]
