One thing I've always wondered is why Tequila is not considered tiki, but rum and gin are. When I think of rum, I think of the Caribbean. Gin, I think of England. Tequila is Mexican. None of them are Polynesian. Is it just that Vic used Rum, mostly, in his original drinks and that it was English explorers (Cook) found polynesia, thus Gin? Anyone have any thoughts on this? |
