Here's a bar tending question-

Starting out what drinks should I know by heart? I'm looking at about a dozen to start with. For reference I have Trader Vic's Tiki Party, The Grog Log and a 1946 copy of Trader Vic's Food & Drink.

So far I know or am learning-
The Mai Tai (a real one, not mixer & fruit juice)
Myrtle Bank Punch / Hell in the Pacific (I prefer the Beachbum's version)
Aku Aku
Bahia / Pina Colada
Polynesian Spell (Grog Log version, better than the Tiki Road Trip version)
Gilded Lily (1946 TV)
Scarlett O'Hara (SoCo, lime, cranberry juice- 1946 TV)

Some drinks I can't make here because the island doesn't have Pernod and I can't have it shipped to me-
Zombie
Samoan Fogcutter
