Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Fog cutter

    • anya_sf on May 23, 2026

      We compared 3 fog cutter recipes and this was our least favorite. It's the same recipe as in the older Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide, except that one calls for light Puerto Rican rum instead of silver (I used silver) and specifically mentions sweet sherry, not just sherry (I used amontillado). We found this version too tart and can't believe it's the true Trader Vic's recipe, having enjoyed this cocktail there in the past. That one was definitely sweeter.

Publishers Text

The tiki volcano is erupting all over again, and now Trader Vic's, the legendary purveyor of Polynesian food, drinks, and fantasy, wants to help us bring it all home. Step behind the bar and into the kitchen at Trader Vic's and learn how to create the kind of tiki magic that made "the Trader" famous.


It's all here: recipes for 95 of the restaurant's best-loved tropical cocktails and after-dinner drinks along with more than 35 party-friendly recipes for pupus, tidbits, finger food, entrées, and desserts - all adapted from the past and present menus of Trader Vic's. Dozens of tips and ideas for inexpensive, easy tiki decorating and entertaining at home are included, as is a guide to the basics of bartending equipment and techniques. Whether it's a blowout tiki party for friends or a spontaneous occasion to dust off the shaker, this book brings favorite concoctions from Trader Vic's into your home.


Trader Vic's has 21 company-owned and franchised restaurants around the world - from Emeryville, California; to Berlin, Germany; and Osaka, Japan.


Cocktail recipes include the Samoan Fog Cutter, the Tiki Puka Puka, Scorpion, the Kamaiina, and The Original Mai Tai, invented by Trader Vic himself in 1944.


Appetizer recipes include crowd-pleasing pan-Asian small plates and nibbles, like Crispy Prawns, Cha Siu Pork, Ahi Tuna Poke, and Key Lime Chiffon Tartlets.


Throw a rocking tiki party using the decorating, music-selection, bar-stocking, and menu-planning tips found here.
