UhaneRob here. Been lurking for about a year after discovering Tiki and being hooked.
I been reading everything I can find online ... bought some books, visited some bars and jumped in trying to re-create some drinks at home.

Welcome! Where are you at? Which bars have you visited?

I'm in West Houston. I've been to Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, Waterworks in Tallahassee, Lattitude 29 and Tiki Tolteca in Nola and my wife visited Frankie's in Vegas(picked up a couple of mugs for me).

I started with Home Tiki Bar 101 from Modern Tiki Lounge, moved onto the Smuggler's Cove book and then bought Beachbum Berry Remixed. I've been able to successfully mix up a few drinks from each of those. My garnish skills need work, however...

I am really considering the new CocktailWonk book because I want to learn more about rum. I get confused if I don't have a list when I am at the store... Would definitely like to learn more.
