Book Description

Six months ago, if anyone would have told Em Johnson she'd end up divorced, broke, and running the dilapidated Tiki Goddess Bar on the magical North Shore of Kauai she would have told them to shove a swizzle stick up their okole. As if all that isn't bad enough, when an obnoxious neighbor with a grudge is found dead in the Goddess luau pit, suspicion falls on Em and the rest of the Goddess staff. With the help of a quirky dance troupe of over-the-hill Hula Maidens, Em and the cast of characters must ban together to find the killer and solve the mystery before the next pupu party.

Book Description

Looking for the perfect mix of smart, sexy, and sassy? Mai Tai’d Up continues New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton’s Cocktail series, which began with Wallbanger and continued with Rusty Nailed and Screwdrivered. The gossip mill in the seaside community of Monterey is churning about Chloe Patterson, the newcomer who is starting a sanctuary for rescued pit bulls. It’s rumored that she’s a former beauty queen (true) who ditched her fiancé the morning of their wedding (also true). And that while she’s not looking for a new man, the good-looking local veterinarian has his eye on her. Absolutely, positively true. When Lucas Campbell isn’t at the family veterinary clinic, he’s paddle boarding in Monterey Bay. Recently single, he’s definitely not in the market for a new relationship, but he still can’t resist taking a second, third, and fourth look at the recent arrival of Miss Golden State. Neither Lucas nor Chloe has any interest in being tied down. Being tied up, however—now there’s a thought. But are a few Mai Tais, a moonlit night, and the music of Frank Sinatra enough to allow them both to forget their past? Let’s hope Ol’ Blue Eyes knows what he’s doing. Mix one part tiki, one part kinky, and a splash of old black magic matchmaking, and it’s time to be . . . Mai Tai’d Up.

Book Description

Coming from the Tahitian phrase 'Maita'i roa ae!' meaning, "very good", this cocktail is considered the king of tiki drinks. It is made of rum, orgeat, lime juice, and orange curacao. For an authentic mai tai, opt for Jamaican aged rum and Jamaican white rum. Better, use rhum agricole since this is the nearest you can get to make a real mai tai. Another unique feature of the Mai Tai is the orgeat, a syrup made from almonds, sugar and orange flower water. The oil from the almonds and the water do not mix fully but you cannot really separate them, even if you try. According to mai tai enthusiasts and reputable bartenders, a mai tai is not a mai tai without the orgeat. Mai Tai is disputably inspired by QB Cooler, a cocktail created by Donn Beach in 1933. Beach was known to be the first to run a tiki bar, designed to reflect the Polynesian culture. Don's Beachcomber is the first tiki-inspired bar to be a chain. In fact, he was known as the founding father of the tiki culture. Aside from the QB Cooler, he also created the Sumatra Kula, Navy Grog and Three Dots and a Dash, among the many others.Victor Bergeron, also known as Trader Vic is credited to have created the Mai Tai as we know today. Trader Vic's is the chain of tiki bars operated by Bergeron. He was known for his eccentric style of serving his cocktails.Although made from different ingredients, patrons claim that the drinks are fairly similar in taste. Trader Vic's creation of the Mai Tai in 1944 is simpler with just 2 kinds rum, lime juice and orgeat as the main ingredients. The QB Cooler of Beach's, created 11 years earlier, was more complicated using three rums, 2 citrus juices, falernum, honey and Angosturra bitters.
