Thanks for all of the suggestions so far and for the Book suggestions. I am ordering those today -- I WISH they were on KINDLE! :/

I have edited our tiki menu from your suggestions. Here is what I have so far:

Strangely, it is harder to find bulk, quality, custom glasses than it is to find some of the ingredients. I have great food venders who track that stuff down for me. I will use a glass tiki glass or collins glass for almost all of these. I am looking for a glass hula girl glass for the Hula Girl & a glass Rum Barrel for the Rum Barrel drinks. I haven't found one yet. I am a big fan of the "glass, see through" glasses for 2 reasons: 0. Liqueur is pretty! Especially when the bartender focuses on presentation.

1. In food service, it helps us easily identify when someone might need a refill or another drink.

The Tiki Menu

• Long Walk on the Beach - my twist on Sex on the Beach w/ "sand" on the rim -- its a family restaurant
• Sandy Sunrise - similar to a Tequila Sunrise, but it is my own tropical version w/ "sand" the rim.
• Blue Hawaiian
• Mai Tai
• Navy Grog
• Zombie - I think I have the 1950's recipe
• Hula Girl - served in a hula girl glass if I can find & order them in bulk
• Scorpion
• Rum Barrel - served in a rum barrel glass? maybe.
• What else??

Possibile Additions

• Ray's Mistake - funny. I like it.
• Honi Honi
• Leilani Volcano
• Shrunken Skull - would be cool if I could find a skull glass
• Caipirinhas - is this considered a Tiki? or a general Cocktail?

Thanks again for the help!
