Well the root of this conundrum for me is that most all of Tiki-Polynesia Cocktalia is based on RUM drinks, and RUM has risen out of the sugar cane of the Carribean and South American colonies. Go figure. After the British captured Jamaica in the 1660's their navy took it round the British Empire, including Australia.
To be truly authentic, drink KAVA at your Tiki Bar. You will have awesome dreams of Thomas Cook and a numb toungue and esophogus.

So, If RUM is Caribbbean, Carribbean has Parrots, Parrots are for pirates, Pirates sail the seven seas, the mutiny on the Bounty, and before you know it, your drinking Zombies and wearing a grass skirt.

Its like six degress of separation with booze---lets not get too snobby here.

Carribean flavor-- not anathema to Tiki
Nautical and Pirate theme-- More Tiki than not
Polynesia Tiki- Tiki-riffic
Rum- The Universal booze of sunny places
Vodka Drinks- Russian pirates or the land bridge from Siberia perhaps

Cheers!
