Serve a damned good drink, that's all that matters.

All sorts of "non-Tiki" ingredients were probably used in various exotic concoctions created by the heroes behind the bars in the Tiki palaces of the distant past. Modern day alchemists are always looking for that little something that makes the drinker pause and wonder. (A little dash of plain rice vinegar to tweak the tartness in a fruity drink maybe? Yes.)

You can get all academic (though I doubt that's likely here) but really, if the drink is lousy I don't give a damn if it's made with a blending of four kinds of rum and juice from special pressings made by young virgin buttocks gently resting on passion fruit and mangoes piled in green bamboo baskets.

Bottom line: Make a good drink. And maybe serve it with a garnish of smelling salts to ease the revival of Tiki snobs who, after reading the list of ingredients, drop their fans in shock, scream, and pass out.

Best. Post. Ever.
