From Victor to “The Trader”- A 90-Year Cocktail Odyssey
Sponsored by
Presented by Eve Bergeron and Beachbum Berry
Eve Bergeron and Beachbum Berry take you on a jaw-dropping journey of Tiki titan, Trader Vic! With never-before-seen photos and previously untold tales of his early years, including unlocking tropical drink secrets in Cuba, Jamaica, and Trinidad, and his glory years — inventing the Mai Tai and Scorpion while forging an empire of 25 restaurants. His legacy has been kept alive through the cocktail Dark Ages and into today’s Tiki revival by the dedication of his family and his fans.
One of Imbibe magazine’s “25 Most Influential Cocktail Personalities of the Past Century,” Jeff “Beachbum” Berry is the author of seven books about vintage tropical drinks and the owner of Beachbum Berry’s Latitude 29, a New Orleans restaurant which has won worldwide critical acclaim. The New York Times cites him as “the Indiana Jones of Tiki drinks” and The Los Angeles Times as “a hybrid of street-smart gumshoe, anthropologist and mixologist.”
