Our Favorite Tiki Cocktails

Dear drinker, if you haven't noticed, tiki cocktails are back with a vengeance. After spending the last few decades languishing in obscurity, the tropical mixological style has become trendy again.

Acclaimed bars like Lani Kai and PKNY in New York and Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco are inspired by tiki godfathers Trader Vic and Don the Beachcomber.

So put on your Hawaiian shirt, turn up the Don Ho and start fixing these five delicious tiki drinks.

Here's a summer cooler of my own:

Fill a tall glass with ice, throw in an ounce or two of rum. Fill with half Squirt and half orange juice.

Cheers.

Love the Ray's Mistake at Tiki Ti in Los Angeles. Actually, anything from the Ti. Yum.

I'd also like to give a shout-out to the Mai Tai at the Bali Hai in San Diego and the Navy Grog at Trader Vic's.

If Budweiser Light were a Tiki Cocktail, it would be the best Tiki Cocktail.

If you love tropical drinks, you have to have the Chichi's at Damons in Glendale. Love them!
