Planning a swank cocktail party over the holiday season? If so, the Passport to Trader Vic’s Exotic Cocktails is just the ticket!  There is no date noted in this one, but judging by the fact that they were offering their ultra swank ceramic drink glasses for $5.00 to $7.95 for a set of 4, postage included… this was printed some time ago! (They still offer some of these glasses, and the “Fog Cutter” is now $18.75 for 1 glass, not including shipping!) I did find some of this  vintage drinkware online and it claimed to be form 1963… so that is a good guess at the age of this fine drink guide.

Okay, before I obsessively start looking for these blasted drink glasses on eBay and the likes… lets talk about booze!

Trader Vic’s has been around since 1934 and surely plays a part in the history of the whole tropical/ultra lounge scene, both back in the day and now. I am pretty sure I was at a Trader Vic’s, with my parents, when I was a kid back in the 70′s.  If Eldora had a Trader Vic’s, I’m sure you’d find me there, sipping a Rangoon Ruby, while writing this review.

Check back tomorrow… yes, tomorrow… for some drink recipes from this classic drink guide!
