The Rise, Fall, and Revival of Tiki
About this episode
The episode explores the history and revival of Tiki culture through the insights of guest Sam Miller.
Tiki is easy to dismiss: themed mugs, carved idols, Hawaiian shirts, and over-the-top cocktails. But the real history is far more interesting. After nearly disappearing in the 1970s, tiki is being revived and redefined by a passionate group of bartenders. Today’s guest, Sam Miller, is one of the people leading the charge, breathing new life into a style of drinks we almost lost. We Want to Hear from You!
