If you've come across this page looking for more Tiki Bar TV drink recipes, you've come to the right place! Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time. This joint is a little boarded up - I'm just too bonkers ... http://tikijohnny.com/?p=36 Aloha! Culled this one from the indispensable Grog Log. For god sakes, if you don't have one, go get one of your own! Or better yet pick up the Triple Play Pack and get all three of Berry's excellent books in one go. This is a super tasty one that relies ... http://tikijohnny.com/?p=35 I'm a big fan of bourbon. The "bourbon sour" is pretty much my go-to cocktail when I'm too tired to think creatively.
