Sorry to say, unless it is a bar that has been doing drinks for some time, like decades, you would find it hard to walk into any regular bar and order even a semi-decent drink. My belief is that, that is why places like Tiki Ti are such historical landmarks is not only the decor but their ability to make a drink the way it should be made. Another way to look at it is, how often does someone walk into a bar and ask for a Mai Tai, or a Zombie, two of the most common tiki drinks, and yet I would safely assume that 9 out of 10 times the bartender will give a puzzled look about what you want. I do think it would be cool if someone could do a pocket tiki drink guide that you could carry in your wallet say with the top 10 drinks that like you said would be able to be made in any bar anywhere and most most important TASTE GOOD. Sorry for the soap box moment.
