While you sit there chugging your PBR and Jack and Coke, a booze revival is happening right before your bleary, red eyes. Fueled by the resurgence of rum and the summer months, Tiki drinks are making a cocktail comeback even in bars that don’t put fake sand on their floor or refer to their beverages as “boat drinks.” So what the hell is a Tiki drink? According to Joi Brozek, a bartender at Waikiki Wally’s (yes, that’s a Tiki bar) in Manhattan, NY , “It’s a lot of rum, tropical juices, fruit, a lot of rum, an interesting glass, and a lot of rum.” Since rum is the main ingredient of 90 percent of all Tiki drinks, it’s no surprise that the newfound popularity of the liquor has brought about the resurrection of Tiki cocktails.

Tiki wasn’t always this loved. Due to the amount of sugar used in making these sweet cocktails, they’ve been known to leave an over-imbiber with a hangover worse than any Jimmy Buffett song. Bartenders and mixologists have learned from the mistakes of the past and are now making Tiki cocktails that wouldn’t be caught dead in a Key West tourist trap. “It’s a bad idea to think you can just throw a bunch of booze and juice in a coconut shell and call it a Tiki drink,” says Brozek. “Amateurs step away. If you want a great Tiki cocktail, leave it to the highly skilled professionals.”
