MOST POPULAR TIKI COCKTAILS

Here are 11 of the most popular tiki cocktails that you need to try! One of my favourite’s being the original Trader Vic Mai Tai which calls for Amber rum and a dark Jamaican rum balanced with fresh lime and orgeat. It’s heavy on the rum (like most tiki cocktails!) and full of flavour.

If you are a lover of Campari and bitter flavours then you need to try the tiki-esque cocktail, the Jungle Bird. A unique tiki style cocktail that was first created in the 1970s in Kuala Lumpur at the Aviary bar in Kuala Lumpur, this tropical concoction combines a delicious mix of dark rum, Campari and fruit juices.

Of course there are a number of other worthy tiki cocktails that aren’t mentioned below – including the Zombie and Singapore Sling!
