That's exactly true, and I think most of the mutations happened when the bartender simply ran out of a certain ('correct') type of liquor! He just grabbed the next bottle in line and said to the customer Try This. But that's only part of what I mean here - the all-encompassing theory I've developed is called the "Way of the Two Paths". And it's core idea is this - at one point mixed drinks became HEALTH DRINKS that were not supposed to taste good! And they almost KILLED the entire Western World! And what brought them back from the horrible depths of tastelessness and snake-oil fakery bakery healthiness was entirely - the Tiki Drink.
