    Trader Vics

    I was pretty disappointed that the Trader Vic's in Chicago closed a couple years back. A friend of mine gave me a copy of a 60s edition of his bar guide, and it is quite a lot of fun. It doesn't only cover the tiki drinks, but they are there. IIRC though, for a few of them, they just say to use his bottled mixer rather than giving actual ingredients.

    Also, in Minneapolis, there is Psycho Suzy's Motor lounge, which has a pretty good selection of Tiki drinks, most of which will knock you on your butt.
