I am compiling a master list of Trader Vic's modern recipes, meaning that if you walk into a Vic's today, it's what you'd get. A good number of recipes evolve over time, so what the 1972 Bartender's Guide called for in a Rum Keg is quite different than what the modern recipe is. Also, even in some of Vic's social media posts, there are small differences, so I realize there is a bit of fluidity here.

Some of the recipes are still unknown, so I'm wondering if anyone here has clues or insights into any of the following (please share sources too; I'm trying to avoid copy-cat recipes or variations):

  • Shanghai Lotus
  • Vodka Mai Tai (I assume it's a Mai Tai with Vodka instead of rum, but I still haven't seen a confirmation.)
  • Honolulu Bay
  • Tahitian Mudslide
  • Keoke Coffee
  • Vic’s Itch
  • Golden Grog
  • Banana Dreams
  • Drunken Monkey
  • Trader Vic’s Painkiller
  • Daiquiri Aperitivo
  • Ku Anuanu
  • Pilo Pilo
  • Vic & Dotty
  • Moku Nani
