Tiki cocktails had their golden age in the 50s and 60s in the USA. Primarily on the west coast of the States. There, bartenders such as Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic began to open Polynesian-inspired cocktail bars. In the 70s and 80s, the Tiki style then almost completely disappeared. A Tiki revival only began again in the late 90s.

Great Tiki drinks include the well known Mai Tai and the Hurricane. But less popular ones such as the Jungle Bird or Fog Cutter are also part of every Tiki bar’s permanent repertoire.
