After one sip, you'll be hiding your eyes. There's only one type of banana hammock I want to see on the beach, and that's the cocktail. I wrote about "Beach Ethics" a while ago and banana hammocks are definitely one of those unwritten rules that should not be broken, at least not in the States. No one wants to see your bulge buddy! A Boat Drink called the Banana Hammock, that's another … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll sail across the ocean for another. If you were to ask any salty Caribbean soul what their favorite island cocktail is, you might get a few different answers. I'm guessing Rum Punch, the Bushwacker and the Killer Bee would all be on the list with a few others. But I'm willing to bet good money that the majority of people would say, without a doubt...the Painkiller. I … [Read more...]
After one sip, the only thing you'll be wearing is flip flops. Well, it might take more than just a sip for me to lose my clothes, but after a few of these Naughty Margaritas anything is bound to happen. Today we are doing a margarita cocktail recipe, can't drink rum drinks all the time can we? Well, maybe we can-- but it's a nice to toss in a little tequila now and then. This margarita recipe … [Read more...]
After one sip, you won't know which way to move the clock. Spring forward Fall back, or is it Spring back Fall forward...I can never get it right. Today is the day we change our clocks for Daylight Savings Time. Is it the end of the Daylight Savings or the beginning? Another thing I can't figure out. That's why I rely on adults who are smarter than I to tell me what to do with my … [Read more...]
One sip and you'll surrender. If you haven't heard yet, Mr. Cabo Wabo, Mr. Red Rocker, Mr. I can't drive 55 has a great new rum on the market. Sammy Hagar, best known for his tequila, has been working hard on his own brand of rum called Sammy's Beach Bar Rum. I posted the Beach Bar Rum press release here a couple months ago letting people know all about the new spirit. When a new rock star rum … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll be wakin' up to a hundred mosquito bites. From that chair I've cought a few fish and some rays And I've watched boats sail in and out of cinnamon bay I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart Prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs Looked at my life - where it's goin, where it's gone I've seen the … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll want to take another, then another and another. Okay, so my "after one sip" opener isn't very good this week, I couldn't think of anything clever to go with a Cherry Rum & Coke. Can you? It seems like whenever I'm patronizing local watering holes I hear a lot of folks ordering rum and cokes. I'm usually a Corona guy, but have been know to throw back an occasional … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll crawl home on yer belly like a gator. In thumbing through my magical book that gives me an abundant supply of cleverly named boat drinks, Swamp Water caught my eye. As I write this I can hear the noisy chatter of a thousand frogs and a slew of other swamp inhabiting creatures. My building backs up to a tidal river and swamp. Any time we get rain (like today) the swamp … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll feel as if you're somewhere over China. This week's hump-day cocktail is inspired by a event that just about made me fill my shorts. I was walking to my car Sunday night when all of the sudden an explosive bang filled the sky and shook the buildings. No I did not scream like a girl, but I sure as hell jumped out of my skin. The enormous sound came from the space shuttle as … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll be packing bags and heading south for the winter. This tropical cocktail name caught my eye due to the fact that the northeast United States has just been hit with two powerful snow storms and some people are sitting under 3 feet of snow. If they aren't tempted to migrate south after all of that then they may have a coconut or two loose upstairs. This tropical drink … [Read more...]
After one sip, you'll throw all your cares in to the wind. Who doesn't like driving down the road (preferably A-1-A) with the top down, hair blowing in the wind. I use to own a Jeep Wrangler and I got excited every time I hopped in it. Top down, doors off, cruising to the beach with Buffett screaming at you through the speakers...that's a Ragtop Day. This drink advertises itself as the … [Read more...]

Who I am and Why I Write - Close your eyes and remove yourself from the everyday. Picture your toes sinking into the sand as the waves kiss your ankles and listen to the coconut palms rustle in the gentle sea breeze. That’s a nice feeling isn’t it? I live a little bit of that life and want to share my tropical dreams with you. My name is Ryan and I hale from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida back in 2001 and have … Read More
