Don the Beachcomber's Little Hawaiian Tropical Drink Cookbook

"The Beachcomber" will forever hold a special place in my heart. I was employed many years ago at the Marina del Rey restaurant and also visited the others on occasion. Our bartenders never divulged the "secret" recipes to ANYONE. A few of these concoctions are my very favorite, and I had no idea how layered the ingredients were. Now we can make them at home. The harder to find liquors/spirits can be found at a wonderfully stocked supply house- or Google it.--Thank You to Pheobe Beach for allowing these recipes to be published!

while the book is indeed literally 'little' the bigger problem is that many of the recipes that ARE included have ingredients like 'herbs' or 'daiquiri mix' which are not further explained. In you are looking for a curiosity to add your your collection, this book has some charming background information on Donn Beach. If you want to actually mix drinks buy one of Jeff Berry's books

Great little book for the tiki bar collector. Drinks are yummy and book adds to my collection a must have if you have ever been to Don's in Huntington Beach

This book contains classic tiki cocktails from the legendary Don the Beachcomber with great photos and informative text. A must have if you like tiki and tropical drinks!

The book is dedicated to "rum" drinks and no more. There are no pina colata or chi chi recipes in the book and they sure are many in the islands. Should be titled Hawaiian Rum Drinks. I tried several of the drinks and they were only so so and not at all what I experience when I am in Hawaii (my latest visit was last month for 3 weeks). Save your money.

Some really good looking recipes. I think I'll have fun with this book making some different and exotic drinks. I love drinks in Hawaii.

It contained the information for the specific drinks that I remembered from the past and that I was looking for.

Was a little disappointed. No Scorpion Recipe. No Orange Duck Recipe. I personally knew the maitre de at the San DiegoDon the Beachcombers when Sinatra used to pull up to the dock. This is a poor attempt to make a profit with inferior products.Pu Pu Platter anyone?
