About The Book

Trader Vic’s Tropical Cocktails is the ultimate guide to tropical cocktails and entertaining from the creator of the Original Mai Tai®.

Trader Vic’s founder, Victor “Trader Vic” Bergeron, opened a small saloon in 1934 in Oakland, California—going on to become one of the most influential figures in cocktail history. This collection features 175 recipes from around the world, including signature drinks from Trader Vic’s locations past and present, alongside rare and rediscovered recipes that defined an era.

Each drink reflects Trader Vic’s approach to balance, flavor, and presentation, with practical guidance for bringing these cocktails to life at home. More than a recipe collection, this book captures the history and global reach of a brand that helped shape modern cocktail culture.

Written by Eve Bergeron, granddaughter of Trader Vic, this edition draws from decades of hands-on experience, archival research, and a deep understanding of the craft behind the bar.

A timeless collection—meant to be mixed, shared, and passed down.

The restaurants continue to feature wood-fired Chinese ovens and craft cocktails, blending their historical expertise in global cuisine with contemporary dining expectations.
