Shannon Mustipher is a spirits educator, cocktail consultant, and expert on the topic of rum and cane spirits.

"TIKI: Modern Tropical Cocktails is a beautiful, important book:
Beautiful because Mustipher's clear-eyed approach to this
transporting style of drinks and Noah Fecks's lush accompanying
images both burst forth from the page. Important because Mustipher
is an assured, nimble guide changing the world. She shows with
grace and confidence that a black woman can--and should--be front
and center in the cocktail kingdom. Seeing photographs of Mustipher
making and serving her own drinks is more refreshing and
revolutionary than the invention of the Mai Tai."
--Scott Hocker, editor-in-chief of Liquor.com
"There is no one I trust more than Shannon Mustipher when it
comes to all things rum. Chill your shaker and line up your
jiggers: TIKI is here!"
--Julia Turshen, author of Now & Again and founder of
Equity at the Table "A true pleasure to read about the nuances of
the ingredients, method, and lore. Shannon honors the history of
Tiki cocktails and her recommendations of specific rums and spirits
for each will help every home mixologist create great
cocktails."
--Eve Bergeron, Trader Vic's "TIKI brings tropical cocktails
straight into the twenty-first century, where the techniques and
ingredients of the modern bar create a new approach to an iconic
style. Home bartenders will find a wide assortment of fabulous new
libations to try alongside twists on the classics that will be
appreciated by newbies as well as seasoned pros. The drinks are
beautifully photographed, which should entice you to up both your
garnich and ceramic mug game. I've been a Tiki enthusiast since the
early seventies, and I'm delighted by Shannon's cocktail
imagination and expertise."
--Brother Cleve, musician, producer, DJ, and bartender "If
TIKI doesn't make you thirsty, I don't know what will. There's so
much in here: a love letter to a glorious and widely misunderstood
cocktail tradition, deep insights into the mechanics of making a
drink sing, and as a subtle thread, a primer on how to develop a
palate. Of course this book is brimming with bold and exciting
recipes and ideas--I'd say it's an essential volume for cocktail
mavens and novices alike."
