Aloha everyone,I am Giltron,Grand Poobah of the DC chapter of the Order of the Golden Fez(that almost sounds impressive,doesn't it?). I used to think anything Hawaiian was cool ever since the Bradys and Fonzie went there,but didn't seriously get into Tiki until the fun that was 2020. I had picked up Tikiyaki Orchestra's "Aloha Baby!" from Double Crown,and found it relaxing,so I started playing it at work to keep things chilled. I also found an issue of Exotica Moderne there,and that lit the fire to get me into all things Tiki. Now I have too many mugs for my apt,I go out in public wearing ugly shirts and silly hats,and I end every work week with dinner and cocktails at my local Tiki bar.

Some of my friends have decided to do a century of Tiki bars,but I have neither the time or money for this. So instead I've decided to do a century+ of Tiki recipes. I'm currently at 97 recipes mixed,including some of my own,and one that was even published in Exotica Moderne. I've decided to document my mixings by starting my own blog:

Mahalo and I hope you all enjoy it.
