Kreaky, not to burst your bubble or anything but, the drinks in Beachbum Berry's Grog Log and Intoxica are the original recipes. The tropical drinks we associate with Trader Vic's, Don the Beachcomber, etc do not originate from Hawaii. Remember, the Mai Tai was invented in Oakland, Ca. If you find that the recipes in your newly discovered book don't match what's in the Grog Log, it's because they are not the original recipes.
