This is a short 2 minute version of who what why and where the
Tiki craze and the drinks that fuel it is all about.
Jeff Berry has done some books about creating Tropical drinks.
and- I stole this from someones post on tiki central
"He sees his mission as elevating the lowly reputation of umbrella drinks to their rightful standing."

Speaking of tropical drink books, I just added this one to my collection:

From the introduction...
Prepare yourself for days and days of joyous intoxication. Approach with caution! You are on the threshhold of what promises to be at least a two week bender.

Thanks for the great link. I'm going to be 21 years old in two weeks, and you've given me a great idea for a celebration. 
Nothing like playing some surf guitar while enjoying a nice Hawaiian drink.

It's actually long time out of print I believe. Check out this thread on Tiki Central for several scanned pages from the book:

My copy is a later edition with different cover. I got it from an Amazon marketseller for $8.

How dare thou make fun of thee almighty "Silver Bullet"!
It took me years and years of practice to get used that taste of rocky mountain lion pee.
Now you know why I always put a dash of lime juice in every can.
It's the only beer I know where you almost get a hangover...........
