The symposium is an updated version of one he presented only once before, at last year’s Miami Rum Renaissance Festival. Even if you attended that event, you’ll still want to check out The Hukilau presentation. He plans several new features, including a vintage film clip with sound, in addition to a slide show and mixology demonstrations. There will also, of course, be samples of several vintage Zombies. (A vintage 1940s Zombie matchbook image from Monte Proser's Beachcomber restaurant in Baltimore. From the collection of Jonpaul Balak.) "Beachbum Berry’s Potions of the Caribbean: 500 years of Tropical Drinks … and the People Behind Them" will be published by the end of the year, through Mud Puddle Books, in a fully illustrated deluxe edition. According to the Bum, it "features 77 historical recipes, including 16 that have never before been published in any form, and another 19 that have never been published in book form (only in old newspapers and magazines, or in souvenir pamphlets given away by bars). The remaining recipes come from books that for the most part have long been out of print."
