The Mai Tai is inextricably linked to the cocktail world of tiki. Trader Vic was the first one who developed this recipe and this cocktail became rapidly famous and the symbol of the tiki pop culture. A traditional Mai Tai is a simple, but well crafted, cocktail with just a few ingredients that enhance the taste of each other. The garnish is a representation of an island.
While there are many recipes out there, this recipe is the traditional one. One sip of it and you will understand why it became so famous back in the days and is now making a fierce comeback.

Our Blue Daiquiri is a colorful twist to the classic Daiquiri. This now widely popular cocktail originated in Cuba and is named after a beach near Santiago. It was built in a tall glass by adding a teaspoon of sugar on top of crushed ice, squeezing one or two limes over the sugar and adding the rum thereafter. Nowadays, it all gets thrown into a shaker, which we see as a good element of surprise. Just imagine telling people you are serving a Daiquiri and then comes this lively colorful drink. The look on their faces will be priceless.

Our Red Curaçao finds its origin in the 1920’s, although we didn’t start producing it until the 1970’s.

The history of this drink started in the 1930s when Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt opened his first restaurant called Don the Beachcomber. The restaurant was filled with souvenirs that he brought back from the Caribbean and South Pacific. The food and drinks he served were infused with typical Caribbean flavors. It was a little tropical paradise in between the city vibe of Hollywood. This was the birth of Tiki cocktails. Though you might think that the Beachcomber cocktail was also an invention of Gantt, there is a version of the story that tells us that it was actually the restaurant Trader's Vic who first came up with this cocktail. Which one is true, we don't know for sure. But this is definitely a cocktail worth drinking!
