Review
"TIKI: Modern Tropical Cocktails is a beautiful, important book: Beautiful because Mustipher's clear-eyed approach to this transporting style of drinks and Noah Fecks's lush accompanying images both burst forth from the page. Important because Mustipher is an assured, nimble guide changing the world. She shows with grace and confidence that a black woman can—and should—be front and center in the cocktail kingdom. Seeing photographs of Mustipher making and serving her own drinks is more refreshing and revolutionary than the invention of the Mai Tai."
—Scott Hocker, editor-in-chief of Liquor.com

Home bartenders will find a wide assortment of fabulous new libations to try alongside twists on the classics that will be appreciated by newbies as well as seasoned pros. The drinks are beautifully photographed, which should entice you to up both your garnich and ceramic mug game.

"If TIKI doesn't make you thirsty, I don't know what will. There's so much in here: a love letter to a glorious and widely misunderstood cocktail tradition, deep insights into the mechanics of making a drink sing, and as a subtle thread, a primer on how to develop a palate. Of course this book is brimming with bold and exciting recipes and ideas—I'd say it's an essential volume for cocktail mavens and novices alike."
