Completely agree with you Anestiki. Unfortunately i cannot make very many of the drinks Kahuna Kevin has created as most of the ingredients are just not available to me here in Australia, however, when the second volume came out i bought an extra copy for a friend who works in one Australias best bars (they win awards just about every year in various categories) and we made 4 or 5 drinks from it substituting ingredients where we had to and every one was amazing. All the bartenders at the bar were quite impressed themselves, with one drink going upstairs for a couple of them to sample and coming back empty.

Also, i actually spent a day with Kevin at his house on my recent trip to the U.S. and got to try another 6 or 7 drinks which were all extremely good and would have to say that even though i visited quite a few Tiki bars on my trip, the best tropical cocktails that i had would probably have been Kevins.

P.S. Good choice with the Ratbasher (page 36 in volume 2). A custom drink made for me in a custom mug i made for him. :D
