Paul McGee's take on the Preakness cocktail adds a tropical twist with the additions of rum and tiki bitters.
This drier take on the Piña Colada leans on dry sherry to balance the sweetness of pineapple juice and Coco Lopez.
Adapted from Donn Beach’s Zombie, Martin Cate’s version of the classic tiki cocktail hews close to tradition.
Leo Robitschek's perfected Mai Tai combines Jamaican and Guyanese rums with rhum agricole.
Tapping into the inherent escapism of tiki, Ezra Star opts for the Jungle Bird as her Desert Island Drink.
Nick Detrich's riff on tiki sees the unusual addition of Campari to up the bitterness.
This recipe for the classic tiki ingredient was decoded by Jeff “Beachbum” Berry from Don the Beachcomber’s original.
This Jungle Bird omits rum altogether, focusing on amari and cold-brew coffee instead.
Team Lyan's riff on the Jungle Bird calls for the addition of an ounce of kefir to a base of rum, lime and guava.
Aged cachaça, vermouth and banana liqueur, all swizzled together into a perfect beach drink.
