The Smuggler’s Cove book is up there with my favourite cocktail books! It features plenty of cocktails, techniques and is incredibly informative – it should be on every aspiring cocktail bartender’s book shelf – especially if you love tiki and/or rum. I picked 3 random recipes from the book that I hadn’t tried previously that were quite different from one another to showcase some of the lesser known cocktails that are featured within the book.
