Vacation is calling! Create your own island paradise with this guide to inspired tropical cocktails from well-known mixologists and the perfect snacks to pair them with.

"A simple, handy, photo-filled guide.... Reedy seems to have put the same level of thought into the mocktail recipes as she did into the alcohol-based recipes, with each one seeming like an interesting option. VERDICT A good choice for someone looking for creative, fun, rum-based tropical drink recipes."--Library Journal

Along with information about techniques, equipment, and where to source tropical ingredients, you will find easy-to-follow instructions for making infused rums and simple syrups to take your tiki game to the next level. So, what are you waiting for? It's five o'clock somewhere . . .
