However, Beachbum Berry's Grog Log in my opinion, is a comparable, if not better, resource because it contains drink recipe's not only from Trader Vic's restaurants but from the other greats as well - Don the Beachcomber, Kon-Tiki, etc. The Grog Log and it's companion Intoxica, is a compilation of such recipes once unknown to the public because of their secrecy. Tikiphiles swear by these books because of their authenticity in recreating a true cocktail from the Polynesian Pop era. Poly-Pop * [ Edited by: PolynesianPop on 2003-04-27 08:54 ]
