The Tiki revival is becoming a mega-trend. From Canada to Kathmandu these rum cocktails in their grotesque tiki jars are back and promising a tropical escape. Tiki cocktails were invented in the 1930s by a Texan best known as Donn Beachcomber, born Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt. He left home in 1926 to see the world but only got as far as the South Pacific and Caribbean before discovering his life mission: rum.He returned to the US under prohibition and became a bootlegger. When prohibition ended in 1933, he went to Hollywood and opened the first of his many Donn the Beachcomber restaurants. Styled on the Polynesian beach bars he'd found on his travels, he served big, bold tiki cocktails like the Mai Tai, Navy Grog and The Zombie. An instant hit with Hollywood celebrities, tiki spread like wildfire around the world.Stephanie Millward of the Landmark Cocktail bar is bringing Tiki to Johannesburg with Tiki Tuesday theme nights.
