Details
Escape into the colorful history of tiki with Martin Cate–author and owner of multiple award-winning tiki bars, including the world-renowned Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco. Originating as escapist fantasies for depression-era Americans, tiki cocktails and the bars that served them are drenched in lore and legend. Dive into the rich history of how drinks were invented (and stolen), Caribbean journeys, Hollywood scandals, midcentury dreams, how an entire generation was swept up in a craze for tiki and why it's booming once again–especially here in Palm Springs! Martin will discuss how he creates one of his signature drinks and explain the process on stage (not a demo). Guests will receive a complimentary cocktail in the lobby after the presentation, so they can enjoy what was just discussed.
$75 VIP: preferred seating, cocktail in a commemorative tiki mug, and entry into the Alohana Tiki Market.
$90 VIP with Book: preferred seating, cocktail in a commemorative tiki mug, entry into the Alohana Tiki Market, and a signed copy of Martin’s book, Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki.
