"TIKI: Modern Tropical Cocktails is a beautiful, important book: Beautiful because Mustipher's clear-eyed approach to this transporting style of drinks and Noah Fecks's lush accompanying images both burst forth from the page. Important because Mustipher is an assured, nimble guide changing the world. She shows with grace and confidence that a black woman can—and should—be front and center in the cocktail kingdom. Seeing photographs of Mustipher making and serving her own drinks is more refreshing and revolutionary than the invention of the Mai Tai."
