The Tropical Takeover is a modern creation inspired by the tiki cocktail culture of the mid-20th century, which originated in the United States, particularly California. Tiki cocktails, characterized by their fruity, rum-based recipes and elaborate garnishes, were heavily influenced by Polynesian culture and tropical ingredients.

Although not a historical classic, the Tropical Takeover builds on the legacy of tiki drinks like the Mai Tai and Pina Colada. Its vibrant color and exotic flavors reflect a fusion of island vibes and contemporary mixology.
