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 on sip, you'll find that coconuts aren't the only things hitting the ground. Do you want to taste something so good that your sips turn in to gulps and glasses turn in to pitchers? I thought so. Then you need to give Rum Punch a swallow. Huh, I can't taste the alcohol, it must be a weak drink...I'll take another Mr. Bartender. If you catch yourself singing this tune you have just … [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...]

After one sip, you'll discover another occupational hazard. To me the quintessential beach drink is the RumRunner. It has tons of flavor, cools you off and jumps starts any party. The best place to get one here where I live is on Ft. Myers Beach. The Lani Kai and Top-O-Mast rule these waters when it comes to the RumRunner. They come frozen and they come strong. At the Top-O-Mast you get … [Read more...]

Shake or stir ingredients, and pour over ice in a tall glass. Sprinkle nutmeg on top, and serve. Happiness will follow. This is probably my favorite tropical concoction of all time because it has an fantastic memory attached to it. I spent a week on St. John in the US Virgin Islands a couple year ago for my buddy's wedding. We took a catamaran day cruise to snorkel and enjoy the water. … [Read more...]
