More than a practical guide for creating delightfully cool tropical drinks, this book steers the reader through the Caribbean; the spirit of the region captured in myths and stories about rum and other delivious drinks. Excerpts from the writing of Ernest Hemingway, Toni Morrison, Graham Greene and Jane Bowles combine with over 150 recipes to capture the mood of life in the tropics. Divided into chapters on daiquiris, rum drinks, tequila and mescal drinks, fruit punches, and nonalcoholic drinks, the recipes in this book include swimming pool coladas, West Indian punch and frozen matadors, as well as more common concoctions. Directions on setting up a tropical bar, glossaries of spices, additives and tropical fruits, and the discussion of liquors themselves and their distillation process are also included. The recipes are illustrated with Gunter Mattei's handcoloured engravings evoking the mystique of the Caribbean and the romantic associations of the grandeur of the islands.
