I have drawn a blank on the Internet, so I am calling out to Tiki Central's cocktail experts: Do any of you have any recipes by Alex Stergios?

Some background: Alex Stergios was the barman at the Tahiti Yacht Club in the 1920s and 1930s. His most famous drink there was called Alex's Rainbow Cocktail, although he had a whole bevy of original recipes.

He later turned up in San Francisco, where he opened Stergios' Original Tahiti Club, and Stergios' Rendezvous, both on Grant and Francisco.

I am very interested in trying out this guy's recipes, as he is a South Seas mixologist who predates Trader Vic and Don the Beachcomber, and he actually developed his tropical drinks skills in Tahiti rather than in Oakland or Hollywood...

Any info or recipes you may have will be gratefully received.
