About The Bum
Jeff Berry is the author of Beachbum Berry's Grog Log, which the New York Times hailed as the world's first "serious tiki cocktail book" and US News & World Report dubbed "the island bar bible." Jeff's subsequent books on vintage drinks and cuisine, Intoxica!, Taboo Table, and Sippin' Safari, have made him the toast of the global Tiki bar revival. His original cocktail recipes have been printed in the New York Times, the Boston Herald, Saveur.com, Beverage Media magazine, Imbibe magazine, and New Orleans magazine; his creations have been served at the Tabou Tiki Room in Berlin, Mako in Beverly Hills, Commander's Palace in Las Vegas, the Tiki Room in Stockholm, Pho Republique in Boston, the Palace Café and the Pelican Club in New Orleans, Forbidden Island by the San Francisco Bay, and Intoxica in Copenhagen (a bar named after his second book). In 2006, Los Angeles magazine included him in its Best Of L.A. issue; In 2007, he was profiled in the New York Times and Salon.com, and appeared on Martha Stewart Living Radio and Radio Margaritaville. This year he's been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Tampa Tribune, and Southwest Airlines Spirit magazine. Jeff serves on the advisory board of the Museum Of The American Cocktail.
