WINNER: 2017 SPIRITED AWARDS (TALES OF THE COCKTAIL): BEST NEW COCKTAIL & BARTENDING BOOK A colorful journey into the lore and legend of tiki, from its birth in Depression-era America to its modern-day revival--from the founders and owners of Smuggler's Cove, the most acclaimed tiki bar of the modern era
Featuring more than 100 delicious recipes (original and historic), plus a groundbreaking new approach to understanding rum, Smuggler's Cove is the magnum opus of the contemporary tiki renaissance. From tiki's birth as an escapist fantasy for Depression-era Americans; how exotic cocktails were invented, stolen, and re-invented; Hollywood starlets and scandals; and tiki's newfound popularity, Martin and Rebecca Cate, founders and owners of Smuggler's Cove in San Francisco, explore tiki's storied history. Whether you're looking for a new favorite cocktail, tips on how to trick out your home tiki grotto, help stocking your bar with great rums, or inspiration for your next tiki party, Smuggler's Cove has everything you need to transform your world into a Polynesian Pop fantasia. Make yourself a Mai Tai, put your favorite exotica record on the hi-fi, and prepare to lose yourself in the fantastical world of tiki, one of the most alluring--and often misunderstood--movements in American cultural history.

A Must-Have for Tiki and Cocktail Enthusiasts
If you have even a passing interest in tiki culture, rum, or cocktails in general, Smuggler's Cove is a must-own book. It's much more than just a recipe collection, it's also a deep dive into the history, artistry, and spirit of tiki. The writing is informative and entertaining, making it both a reference guide and a book you'll enjoy reading cover to cover. The recipes are well-structured, ranging from approachable classics to more advanced cocktails for those looking to expand their skills. The attention to detail is fantastic: guidance on ingredients, tools, and techniques is clear and practical, while the background stories add some real depth. The photography and design are also absolutely gorgeous, making the book as much a coffee table showpiece as it is a working guide behind the bar. Whether you're building a home tiki bar, exploring the world of rum, or simply looking to shake up your cocktail repertoire, Smuggler's Cove will inspire you. It's easily one of the best cocktail books I've ever read, and one I'll be pulling off the shelf again and again.
