Is it time for the New Wave again?

"...This colorful book contains over 50 recipes for new twists on the old classic: try a Mai Tai-Jito, a Sassy Wahine or a Smooth Shredder..."

Since few people can make a decent tropical drink or have ever even been served one in a bar I'd say new recipes are exactly what we need. (I wonder what fascinating ingredient one would add to a Mai Tai to make a Mai Tai-Jito?)

• "...These creative cocktails go beyond what either Don the Beachcomber or Trader Vic could ever have imagined."*

I read that as: * "...These creative cocktails go beyond what either Don the Beachcomber or Trader Vic would ever have considered serving in their establishments."*

Yes, I am judging a book by its press release, but the cover wasn't available.

Oh wait, here it is:

Wow. How very...New Wave.
