Aloha!
Welcome to Tiki Johnny, the homepage of bartender Johnny Johnny from the Tiki Bar TV Video Podcast. Grab a cocktail shaker, break out your favorite Tiki mug, and we’ll get down to business.
It’s the aim of this site to post one refreshing cocktail, each and every day, for your enjoyment (and, of course, consumption). On the RIGHT, under CATEGORIES, you can elect to show only drinks that contain certain ingredients. Feel like something with Light Rum? Gin? Kirsh? Cooking Wine? A delicious suggestion is only a click away. Come back again tomorrow and do it all over again!
This site isn’t trying to be one of those “mega drink libraries” you find all over the internet. You know the ones, they list ten million cocktails, including hard to find exotics like a “Gin and Tonic” (wow, finally, the recipe for it, after all these years of searching!) and of course the ones that talentless 21 year old hacks submit themselves (such as “The BrainBuster: a pint of vodka with a shot of mustard – drink while punching yourself in the balls over and over again”).
Not HERE! No sir. TikiJohnny is a cut above that foolishness. We’re Drunkards, for sure, but we’ve got CLASS.
The drinks featured here are ones that I have actually MADE, drinks that I think are good, or creative, or different, or a cut above. Sure, i’ll post the odd classic now and then, or some concoction that you can try if you’re up to the challenge, but for the most part, It’s my plan to only post drinks you could entertain with. Clever, smart, do-able cocktails that will please your guests. Or, if you can’t find any guests, hell, drink alone. How do you think them all?
Most of the recipes for the drinks posted here come from my personal collection of cocktail books (which, whenever possible, I’ll give a link to so that you can pick the book up if you like it, and also to give the writers and publishers the credit they deserve).
So sit back, crack some fresh ice, get your mixer ready, and let’s get to work!
Cheers and Tip Tip Horrah;
JJ.
