Lei Lani Volcano from my favorite tiki book Smuggler's Cove! What are your favorite cocktail books?

Recipe:

  • 3oz Bundaberg guava soda
  • 1 1/2oz pineapple juice
  • 3/4oz lime juice
  • 1oz coconut cream
  • 1 1/2oz blended aged rum

Add soda to a collins glass. Then add remaining ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill with cracked or cubed ice. Shake and double strain into the glass. Gently add cracked or cubed ice to the glass and garnish.

That’s an awesome collection. I only have smugglers cove but it’s a great book.

Smuggler's Cove is definitely a favorite too. I'm also a big fan of the Oxford's Guide to Spirits and Cocktails (it's insane, but fantastic) and Imbibe/Punch of course. Beyond those, I also like the Beachbum Berry and Death & Co books.

I'm trying to cut back on getting books that are just recipe books. I have enough recipes already. But ones with history or new techniques are great! I'm looking at getting Tropical Standard next as I've heard it has quite a bit of technique.
