"I've been thumbing through Shannon Mustipher's "Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails" and my first impression was that some of these drinks are a bit too much of a stretch for what we typically consider an exotic cocktail.

Recommended brands:
•Avua Amburana cachaça
•Flor de Caña 12 Y.O. rum
•Sombra mezcal",
