One thing that I would like to bring up on this thread. Al's Lagoon Room is well stocked, and he can pretty much make up any drink at a moment's notice. He even had dry ice, for christ's sake! I am actually setting up my home bar this week, and I would appreciate advice on how to stock a tiki bar - I'm talking alcohol, mixers, tools, glassware, swizzles, accessories, etc. I would like to be able to whip up just about any drink from the grog logs or throw a small party without hesitation. Granted, I already have a fairly good selection of rums, mixers, a couple of shakers, a blender, some glassware, and of course tiki mugs. Still, I'd like to hear advice - it would help me out, and I'm sure would be beneficial to others, whether they are setting up a tiki bar in their house, or they already have one in full swing.

I love it...doesn't this just smack of a new job for the experts...TIKI BAR CONSULTANT. The consultant comes to your house, shows you the best way to fung shui your bar so everything is neatly organized, back-up stock is easy to find, any good bar-tender could slip behind the bar and get busy, the vendor takes you on a Bev-Mo shopping spree where you ante up your Visa, you are trained to all the proper glass-types/garnish sprays, and are left holding your Grog-Log and ready to RUMBA!!!! How much would you pay for a service like this? Many of us do the best we can to get things set up, but having a professional teach us the basics in our own home....PRICELESS. :D
