Making tiki easy for anyone.

Tiki for Anyone

Casual Tiki has one goal: make tiki easy for anyone.

Tiki culture, to me, celebrates relaxed vibes and tropical peace while cultivating a sense of inclusion, fun and a come-as-you-are attitude (Hawaiian shirts a plus).

However, this can be countered with a sense that the perfect is the enemy of the good. This may work for those “in the know” that have fully embraced and enjoyed tiki. But it can seem daunting for those interested or just starting out.

Casual Tiki is simplifying tiki and making it more accessible – to anyone.

Making It Easy

There have been several attempts at making tiki easier, particularly cocktails. Minimalist Tiki, Easy Tiki, even Smuggler’s Cove established a rum categorization system. However, while they all have their benefits; they, as tiki purists, actually make it seem even more daunting. Easy Tiki presents a number of cocktails with six or fewer ingredients; but you do so with a range of rums, juices, mixers and more that beginners won’t have on hand.

Casual Tiki is taking a different approach. Simplicity isn’t found in the number of ingredients. It is found by using best practices in categorizing rum and organizing ingredients by accessibility and need.

Casual Tiki has examined over 100 tiki (and tiki adjacent) cocktails, organized them by ingredients, and designed a tiered bar system so anyone can more easily identify which cocktails can be mixed.
