That's what this forum is about. One reason why people began staying away from Tiki temples was that the art of mixology became forgotten, Bacardi cornered the market, dark rum was "out"...and what where once delicious taste sensations (the original recipe cocktails) deteriorated into syrupy sweet cool aid. So the temples fell into ruins. To try to bring back a lost quality of life is not elitist for me, it's merely an attempt to survive.
