Cheers to the nature of Tiki Cheers to Tiki spirits The Tiki trend started in the 20th century as a result of Polynesian-styled restaurants and bars booming in the United States, which soon spread all over the world. Great examples in the cocktail industry were: Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s, which still inspire us today. Historically, Tiki was the first man on earth created by the gods in Māori mythology which is a great part of the Polynesian culture. Polynesian culture is closely linked to nature, in particular the Pacific. The Polynesians were renowned for their seafaring and navigation skills and explored a large part of the islands in the Pacific Ocean. A lot of the ancient Hawaiian gods looked like natural occurrences, due to their strong connection with nature. For them, this explained that also the flowing of lava from volcanoes was part of the Earth’s creation. They had great respect for nature and all living creatures, unfortunately the later generations were less respectful. Since those ancient times a lot has changed and in the last decades we gained our respect for nature and the Earth’s well-being back.

The Tiki Mixed Gods, Cooler and Rocks; the Split, Mai-Tai and Coupe; the Pineapple, ceramics mug and ceramics tumbler… every last member of the Tiki range is beloved by guests everywhere. And not just for summer drinks. Nowadays folks are enjoying Tiki all year round. So what better reason for two fun and handy new additions? Here’s to the Kahiko Mai Tai and Kahiko Zombie! The legendary Tiki bartender, Daniele Dalla Pola, helped us develop the iconic Kahiko decorations to reflect the rich traditions and culture of the Pacific Islands. Kahiko Mai Tai draws on the traditional TAPA patterns of islands like Tonga, Samoa and Fiji where its seen on everything from cloths to traditional tattoos. Kahiko Zombie plays that typical two-faced Tiki trick with a sensuous, ukulele-playing wahine (Hawaiian women) on one side and a scary shrunk- en head on the other. But no matter how you look at it, it’s the perfect way to serve a cocktail filled with Pacific promise. *Photo courtesy of Punch Drink & Anthony J Rayburn. 4 @punch_drink @anthonyjrayburn. 5 Kick starting odd habits KICKING BACK THE FOOTPRINT Socially-responsible entrepreneurship, environmentally-friendly products and zero-waste projects. These phrases, which have become increasingly important over the last decade, obviously all refer to the footprint we leave on the planet. As awareness spreads, it’s affecting consumers and businesses alike, and the bartending sector is no exception. Initially, this mind-shift created a niche market, where businesses could differentiate themselves from the competition by reducing their waste. But addressing sustainability issues has now become a necessity. Something the consumer expects in one way or another from any business, including a bar. So let’s start kicking back our footprint!

By com- bining sand, soda and calcium carbonate under a great amount of heat, we can create liquid glass that we can mould into all kinds of different shapes. Recently, Libbey installed a new oven that reuses its heat to greatly decrease the energy needs. This is a new technique in the glass industry and we’re proud that Libbey is the first manufacturer to use it on a grand-scale. 10 Discovering your own backyard Shorty Margarita Perception Coupe Fiesta Grande 14 CL · 4.75 OZ ≈ 25.1 CL · 8.5 OZ ≈ 35.5 CL · 12 OZ ≈ h102 mm · Ø88 mm ≈ h152 mm · Ø105 mm ≈ h152 mm · Ø114 mm ≈ No. 2779VCL14 No. 3055 No. 8423 Tiki Coupe Cactus Margarita Citation Margarita Citation Margarita 25 CL · 8.5 OZ ≈ 35.5 CL · 12 OZ ≈ 20.7 CL · 7 OZ ≈ 26.6 CL · 9 OZ ≈ h146 mm · Ø108 mm ≈ h156 mm · Ø102 mm ≈ h149 mm · Ø114 mm ≈ h156 mm · Ø114 mm ≈ No. 3937VCL25 No. 3619JS No. 8428 No. 8429 THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY In recent years, the phrase “Think globally, act locally” has been echoing around the world. When you focus on your local environment, you help build a thriving sustainable community. Simply using cocktails and garnishes from local producers, for example, has multiple benefits: you will shrink your CO2 footprint, due to shorter transportation distances. You will likely discover some new, high quality products. You will certainly help create a tight community, where everyone benefits from helping each other. And you will differentiate yourself from the competition in a really positive way. So get out there and see just what your region has to offer – you’ll be pleasantly surprised! 12 13 Friends with benefits THE POWER OF OUR NEIGHBOURS What your neighbours see as waste, you can use for your benefit.
