Jeff \"Beachbum\" Berry (born c. 1958) is an American restaurant owner, author, and historian of tiki culture, particularly the drinks associated with the tiki theme.
In addition to researching and reconstructing lost recipes, he has invented and published his own cocktail recipes.Berry describes himself as a \"professional bum\".
He is a graduate of the UCLA film school, and he worked as a journalist and screenwriter in Hollywood for many years.
He did several Disney rewrites and directed a TV movie starring Olympia Dukakis.
But he came to realize that he \"liked making drinks more than making movies\" and decided to focus on his real passion: tropical drinks.
Berry fell in love with tiki culture as a child in 1968, when his parents took him to a Chinese restaurant in the San Fernando Valley in the Los Angeles area.
He loved its faux-Polynesian decor and was fascinated by the elaborate cocktails that were served.
He later explained, \"It was this weird, mysterious adult thing that was a part of the whole exotic fantasy world.... drinks would come with all kinds of elaborate garnishes.
It had a huge impression on me, and that became my favorite place to go.\"
M. Carrie Allan of The Washington Post described Berry\'s work in researching and reconstructing lost recipes as that of a \"cocktail archeologist.\"
Wayne Curtis, historian and author of And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails, dubbed him \"the Indiana Jones of tiki drinks.\"
Berry calls himself a \"tropical drink evangelist.\"
Steven Kurutz of The New York Times said, \"Mr. Berry’s lasting contribution may be in salvaging tropical drinks from decades of bad bartending.\"
The Australian Bartender noted, \"It\'s hard to overstate this guy’s importance for tiki bars: Jeff Berry literally wrote the books on tiki.\"In 2014 he and Kaye opened a tiki-themed restaurant and bar, Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29, in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
He said operating the restaurant is \"the first time I\'ve worked set hours since 1985.\"
In 2021, Jeff Berry partnered with rum importer Ed Hamilton to release \"Beachbum Berry\'s Zombie Blend\" rum.
Vintage \"lost\" tropical drink recipes from the golden age of the tiki bar, collected for the first time in one volume! Includes never-before-published secret recipes from Don the Beachcomber\'s, Trader Vic\'s, and other legendary Polynesian palaces.
A thorough introduction tells you everything you need to know to become your own expert mixologist.
