Review blurb on its way… someday
Not the best or most historical, but a good starting point if you’re feeling utterly clueless.
Heavily detailed book, teaches the history of individual distilleries,and plenty of Scotland Geography.
A lot of rum reviews, a fairly craptastic recipe section in the back.  Read it for the rum and rum distillery discussion.
One of my favorite cocktail books of all times, full of history, interesting information on classic drinks, and… just go get it already!  The earlier editions have a keen, leather-like cover.
Lovely photography, a *tinge* of history, but mostly a lot of modern tiki-style drinks from 80s/90s mixology school.
If this is not in your library… it should be.
Some great picture of Donn, and some interesting, though debatable, drink recipes.  Beware of the “pour into a blender and shake” typos.
When I grow up, I want to be like Jerry Thomas.
Read, drink enjoy.  A classic Tiki Tome!
Lots of shooters and 90s era drinks.  A solid meh, but a good place to start.
A global perspective, though focused on America and England’s Rum influence.  A bit more academic than adventure.
Review blurb on its way… someday
Great for hosting Tiki Parties where you want more than just booze.  The Mai Tai Pie is to die for.
A classic that should be on every shelf.  See more about the Savoy at Erik Ellestad’s blog.
Jeff Berry takes an adventurous walk through Tiki bars and restaurants of times past, with interviews of legendary bartenders, old pictures, menus, and of course, drinks.  A good read, and some great drinks.
Get it if you collect Shag stuff, that’s about all I can say.
