I know that "simple tiki drinks" is an oxymoron - tiki drinks should be rich and complex, filled with obscure and exotic ingredients. But for us "entry level mixologists", how about a list of simple tiki drinks? Drinks with a short list of readily available ingredients (5 ingredients or less?)

I will try to add any suggestions here to this list to keep for a quick and easy reference, see posts below for any discussion. I didn't put any recipes here, only ingredients - recipes should be easy enough to find.

***Disclaimer - these are drinks suggested by various people, they and may or may not be the "official" ingredients
