Who’s Your Daddy: A Mai Tai Paternity Test
The Mai Tai War has raged for over half a century, and it ain't over yet. Bandleader Harry Owens claimed he introduced the Mai Tai to the world in 1954. Trader Vic claimed he invented the Mai Tai in 1944. And Don The Beachcomber said he invented the Mai Tai way back in 1932. At the risk of getting fragged in the crossfire, author Jeff "Beachbum" Berry will examine the evidence, and shake up samples of different Mai Tai recipes. The talk is fully illustrated with rare vintage slide-show images -- and of course, cocktails will be served....

About Jeff Berry:
Jeff “Beachbum” Berry is the author of five books on vintage Tiki drinks and cuisine -- Grog Log, Intoxica!, Taboo Table, and Sippin' Safari -- which Los Angeles magazine called “the keys to the tropical kingdom,” and his newest, Beachbum Berry Remixed. He has been profiled in the New York Times, Imbibe magazine, Salon.com, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Saveur.com, Bar magazine, and the Tampa Tribune; he’s also been featured in the Washington Post and W magazine. Jeff created the cocktail menu for the Luau in Beverly Hills, which the New York Times cited as one of the nation’s 24 “Bars on The Cutting Edge,” and co-created “Tiki+” for iPhone, a drink recipe app which Macworld magazine called “beautifully rendered and, thanks to Berry’s tireless reporting, impeccably sourced.” Jeff’s original cocktail recipes have been printed in publications around the world, most recently the 67th edition of the Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide; his drinks have been served at Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco, Elletaria in Manhattan, the Tabou Tiki Room in Berlin, Taboo Cove in Las Vegas, the Tiki Room in Stockholm, Pho Republique in Boston, the Palace Cafe in New Orleans, and Intoxica in Copenhagen, among others. Jeff has appeared on Martha Stewart Living Radio and Radio Margaritaville, and has conducted tropical drink seminars and tastings across the U.S. and Europe. He serves on the advisory board of the Museum Of The American Cocktail.
