The Back StoryMore: Think Tiki drinks are overly sweet and lacking in sophistication? New, serious Tiki Bars in San Francisco and New York are changing minds. Upscale versions include a Bitter Mai Tai that cuts the sugar; The Black Pearl, a Caribbean spin on an Old Fashioned; and Three Dots and a Dash--a classic from one of the grandfathers of Tiki, Don the Beachcomber.
The
Science: The feeling people get from drinking alcoholic beverages is a
result of ethanol, the active ingredient produced by a fermentation
process.
The Fun: Just like fashion, popular drinks come and go with
each season. Mixologists are always fusing new flavors and techniques
to tickle the palate.
The Goal: Drinking Responsibly. Our Mission: All profits are
donated to THE LEARNING COMMUNITY, an organization dedicated to
providing families with the support they need. Why? Because parenting
isn't easy. Available 24/7, www.TheLearningCommunity.us.
