How to make classic Tiki drinks?
MORETiki drinks are a tropical escape in a glass, known for their vibrant flavors and exotic presentation. Whether you're hosting a luau or just craving a taste of the islands, crafting classic Tiki drinks can be a fun and rewarding experience.
Making Classic Tiki Drinks
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Collect
a variety of rums, fresh fruits (pineapple, lime, orange), syrups
(orgeat, falernum), spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), and garnishes (citrus
wheels, pineapple wedges, mint sprigs).
Step 2: Choose Your Tiki Recipe
Select
a classic Tiki recipe, such as the Mai Tai, Zombie, or Pina Colada.
Each recipe offers a unique combination of flavors, ensuring there's a
Tiki drink for every palate.
Step 3: Measure and Mix
Follow
the recipe closely, measuring each ingredient precisely. Tiki drinks
are all about balance, so take your time to get the proportions right.
Step 4: Shake or Blend
Depending
on the recipe, shake the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker or
blend them with ice in a blender. This step adds the signature froth and
chill to the drink.
Step 5: Strain and Garnish
Strain the
mixture into a Tiki mug or glass, and don't forget to add eye-catching
garnishes. Citrus wheels, pineapple wedges, and mint sprigs enhance the
visual appeal.
Step 6: Enjoy Responsibly
Sip and savor
your creation responsibly. Tiki drinks are meant to be enjoyed slowly,
allowing you to appreciate the complex layers of flavors.

Bruce Doucet Recipe
Combine schnapps and rum in a highball glass over ice and stir. Add Five-Alive, then rim glass with sugar. NOTE: You DO rim the glass after mixing the drink. It is important to place a good amount of sugar in a small scotch glass or similar recipient. Mix the drink over ice, and dump into the sugar. Next, use a spoon to eat the mixture. Your glass, of course, has been rimmed. After you've finished the drink, lick the sugar off the glass.
Peach Schnapps
Peach Schnapps is a type of Schnapps with a peach flavour, made by adding flavour to clear grain spirit. It was introduced by DeKuyper in 1984, and quickly became the top selling Schnapps in America. The favour is intense and that makes it a favourite mixer in cocktails. These heavily sweetened alcoholic beverages are bottled with an alcohol content that varies between 15% and 40% ABV.
Although Peach Schnapps like other Schnapps are mostly used as flavorings and mixers in cocktails, they can definitely be enjoyed straight, and a Peach Schnapps is typically a summer or spring drink.
Peach Schnapps is usually mixed with orange juice or white lemonade, but are often used as mixers in cocktails with other primary base alcohol.
Peach Schnapps is the most favourite Schapps in the UK.Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
Captain Morgan is a brand of flavored rums produced by British alcohol conglomerate Diageo. It is named after the 17th-century Welsh privateer of the Caribbean, Sir Henry Morgan. – Wikipedia
Orange Schnapps
Schnapps is an alcoholic beverage that has no single form, it is in general a grain spirit that has a fruity, spicy and herbal flavour in it. It can thus be created the way liqueurs are created by steeping botanicals in grain spirits and filtering, or like a brandy be distilled from a fruity wine, or even simple infusion of botanicals, syrups or even artificial flavouring agents in a neutral spirit.
Schnapps are typically raspberry, apple, pear, plum, peach, cherry or appricot flavoured.
In Europe Schnapps usually takes the form of an Obstler or Obstbrand, which are traditionally made by fermenting macerated fruit and then distilling the fermented liquor in a process akin to the process of making a brandy.
Obstler ( the German for Fruit, Obst ) has similarity with several verities of Rakija of the Balkans and Easter Europe.
The other form that a Schnapps can take in Europe is a Geist. Geist is created by steeping and infusing berries into neutral spirits for weeks and then distilling it. This too is pretty similar to a fruit brandy.
The third form a Schnapps takes is of a liqueur, these are created the same way all liqueurs are created by infusing fruits, berries and herbs in neutral spirits and filtering the product into a clear liquid.
In America, Schnapps take the form of an inexpensive, heavily sweetened liqueur. American Schnapps are typically between 15% and 20% ABV (30–40 proof), while European Schnapps are usually 30% to 40% ABV or 60-80 US proof.Five Alive Fruit Juice
Ice is so obvious in most drinks, be it a straight drink or a mixed drink, that we often forget it's importance or even reason behind using a crystal clear good quality ice in a glass of whisky, or crushed ice in a tall glass to enjoy a cocktail.
Ice tempers a hard liquor, and as is in the case of whisky for example, if you prefer the flavours of whisky reach your nose without the hard note of spirit lingering around, or want to avoid the mild sting of a neat whisky, a cube of ice mellows the strength down a little and as it melts slowly, the aroma and flavour is released from the whisky slowly and makes whisky progressively weak, lingering and palatable.
Ice in Vodka helps release the little flavour a Vodka has, slowly, instead of letting the Vodka hit your nose all at once,
In mixed drinks, ice plays an important role in creating the perfect temperature a certain drink requires and bartenders use ice in several different ways, crushed ice for long drinks that will allow the cocktail to slowly water down like a Mint Julep, Moscow Mule, Rum Swizzle, Sherry Cobbler and other Tiki drinks, a large block or cubes of ice for drinks that are spirit heavy, such as the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Manhattan

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
