San Francisco's best cocktails of 2010 (includes recipes!) - Tiki Drinks and Food

At least four are rum-based, most contain fresh juices (including pineapple and grapefruit) and old Tiki staples like honey, coconut milk, mint, falernum and allspice dram make appearances. And two contain pineapple syrup, which I've been using for several years but now appears to be trendy since Small Hand Foods (http://smallhandfoods.com) started producing it.
