Jeff Berry

Jeff “Beachbum” Berry is the author of five books on vintage Tiki drinks and cuisine, which Los Angeles magazine has called “the keys to the tropical kingdom.” He has been profiled in the New York Times, Imbibe magazine, Salon.com, the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Saveur.com, and the Tampa Tribune; he’s also been featured in the Washington Post and W magazine. Jeff created the cocktail menu for the Luau in Be-verly Hills, which the New York Times cited as one of the nation’s 24 “Bars on The Cut-ting Edge,” and co-created “Tiki+” for iPhone, a drink recipe app which Macworld maga-zine called “beautifully rendered and, thanks to Berry’s tireless reporting, impeccably sourced.” Jeff’s original cocktail recipes have been printed in publications around the world, most recently the 67th edition of the Mr. Boston Official Bartenders Guide; his drinks have been served at Elletaria in Manhattan, the Tabou Tiki Room in Berlin, Ta-boo Cove in Las Vegas, the Tiki Room in Stockholm, Pho Republique in Boston, and Intoxica in Copenhagen, among others. Jeff has appeared on Martha Stewart Living Radio and Radio Margaritaville, and currently conducts tropical drink seminars and tastings across the U.S. and Europe. He serves on the advisory board of the Museum Of The American Cocktail.
