Next week I will be having a chat for my favorite charity, Freeport Humane Society. I will pledge $1.00 for every guest that comes. In celebration of Dark Waters, here are a few drinks island style to mix up before the soiree. Didn’t get your evite? Contact me. 1…. Puerto Rican Pina Colada 1 cup pineapple juice Combine ingredients in a blender. Blend until desired consistancy, pour into a Champagne Tulip and serve. *** 2… Caribeean Martini 1 1/2 oz Stoli® Vanilla vodka Shake ingredients over ice. Pour into cocktail glass. *** 3… Mojito 3 fresh mint sprigs In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lime slice and the remaining mint, and serve. *** 4… Captain’s Paradise 1 part Captain Morgan® Parrot Bay pineapple rum Combine them how ever you want in whatever you want. I always pour the orange juice first then the rum but its up to you. This actually makes a great punch too. The ratios can be changed depending on how strong you want it, but I find this has a relatively solid balance. Both guys and girls will really enjoy this! *** 5… Pineapple Bugunda 2 cups fresh pineapples Cut the pineapple into small pieces, enough for two cups. Combine with everything else in a blender until smooth and thick. Serve in whiskey-sour glasses and garnish with mint sprigs and maraschino cherries. *** 6…. Coquito (Rum Punch) 1/2 liter water Boil the cinnamon sticks in the water. Take the sticks out when the water is yellow and has the smell and taste of cinnamon. Add the evaporated milk, condensed milk and egg yolks and cook at low temperature. While it’s cooking stir to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the pot. When it is boiling for a few minutes, add the cream of coconut and rum. Stir well and take off the burner. *** 7… Cruz Azul (shooter) 1 oz 151 proof rum Stir and serve in a shot glass. *** 8…. Sex with an Alligator sweet and sour mix Add sweet and sour & Midori to a shaker w/ice, shake and strain. Layer in razzberry liqueur and jager. Razzberry should go to the bottom and jager should float on top. Works best in Martini glass. *** 9… Sex on the Beach 1 1/2 oz vodka Add vodka and peach schnapps to a highball glass over ice. Fill with equal measures of cranberry juice and orange juice, and stir. *** 10… Mango Daiquiri 1 oz dark rum Combine the rum, orange curacao, mango pieces and sour mix in a blender with one cup of crushed ice. Pour into a tall glass, garnish with a mango stick and serve. *** 11… Island Breeze 1 1/2 oz peach schnapps Stir all ingredients together in a highball glass. Add ice as desired, and serve. *** 12… Paradise 1 1/2 oz gin Shake and strain into a champagne saucer. Garnish with the blossom of a white orchid and a cherry on a stick. *** 13… Coconut Kiss (non-alcoholic) 1 oz cream Shake over ice cubes in a shaker. Strain into a large highball glass over crushed ice, garnish with an amarelle cherry, and serve. *** Want more drink recipes? Get Gabriella Hewitt’s Puerto Rican Recipes. |

You had me a pina colada
. Seriously though, I’m going to have to try mojitos, they sound yummy, so do the Coconut Kiss. I’ll try and make your shindig, but I work Thursday nights and get home around 9:30 (how long do you think it will last?). Happy TT.
P.S. Where did you get your smilies?

Bacardi rum?!
Tsk…tsk…tsk… A good Puerto Rican will only use Don Q rum for a good piña colada.

My favorite is the sex on the beach, but I’d take a mudslide over all of them anyday!

Comment
Mango Daquiri,now that sounds illegal:razz:
Happy T 13!!
Comment
yummy!
Comment
I’m not a big fan of drinks that actually taste like alcohol, so I guess I’d have to stick with #13.
Happy TT and thanks for visiting my list.
Comment
Wow, what a great idea. I think I would like to try #6-I like spiked punch
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier
Comment
Oooh! They all sound so tempting! Haven’t had a Mojito in ages, so it gets my vote.
Comment
I love love love tropical drinks – there isn’t a single one on the list that I wouldn’t scarf down right this very minute.
Comment
Thats a different recipe for a Coconut Kiss than the one they serve at a bar here. It doesn’t taste alcoholic but it certainly has enough booze in it to get you drunk
Comment
Hello Gabriella,
you put your link in our I Dare You box – can we expect a post about your nomss friend soon? You did not leave a comment so we don’t know…. If you are not taking the challenge let me know so I can eliminate your link, it was solely for the Dare, nothing else…Thank you for understanding, Karl
Comment
Hehe, the mojito reminds me of that commercial where they’re all dancing to the beat of the mojito.
Comment
