While many cocktail aficionados out there love to drink a well-made tiki classic when they are out for drinks, trying to recreate traditional tiki recipes at home can be a bit overwhelming, even for the seasoned bartender. Since the ingredient count can often climb as high as ten or twelve components (and sometimes even more than that) in some of these cocktails many people just flat out give up before even attempting any of these drinks. To help us defeat this mindset, Chloe Frechette (senior editor for Punch) worked with some fo the best tiki minds in the world to simplify these daunting recipes for her new book, Easy Tiki. So tune in this week, as we talk about Mai Tais, tiki history and what makes a drink authentically tiki.
