If you are familiar with the history of drinks and the various styles they come in , then you probably would have heard of Tiki drinks and the culture behind them. In short these are drinks that stem from a drink culture inspired by the sentimental appeal of an idealized South Pacific, particularly Hawaii, Polynesia and Oceania. These drinks typically include the use of Rum, fresh fruit juices and flavoured syrups.
This cocktail comes with some amazing vibrant flavours which if you have tried any Tiki style drink in the past you may be familiar with. The combination of the fruit juices gives it a great sweet and sour balance that all good cocktails should have. Along with this the Raspberry syrup adds its own special flavour to the mix which along with all the other ingredients compliment the Rums in this drink extremely well.
If you are just starting to discover Tiki drinks and cocktails, then the Fritzy Tiki is defiantly somewhere you can start. There is a long list of these delicious drinks out there and we will be covering a lot of them especially going into the summer, so keep an eye out for future Tiki drink articles.
