About

I was 49 years old before I knew how to drink correctly.

Before that, I was living in a world of syrupy concentrated blendered boat drinks, and thought I was happy.

Then I read Martin Cate’s “Smuggler’s Cove”, and discovered I had no idea what I was doing.

Since then, I have pursued the mysteries of the tiki cocktail, and am always discovering a new, hidden tropical oasis in every garish mug or flowered, icy glass. I briefly considered opening a tiki bar, and was investigating marketing and financing options, when a great friend and colleague talked me out of it, and suggested I start blogging instead. That was the birth of The Tiki Texan.

I want to share my love of craft cocktails and all things tiki with you.

I am now 51 years old, and live in the Katy/Houston Texas area. I continue to hone my mixology craft, and practice at every opportunity.

Aloha!

Welcome to the sandy shores of The Tiki Texan’s tropical hideaway.  Whatever shipwreck you just escaped, leave her behind. She’s under.

Here you will find warm breezes, cold concoctions, and friendly natives.

Make yourself at home!
