Get Refreshed With “The Nipple” at Paradise Beach Bar, St. Lucia
Tagged: beach bar, caribbean, cocktails, coconut bay beach resort and spa, paradise beach bar, st. lucia
I love cocktails and I love the beach which pretty much explains my obsession with beach bars. What’s not to love? Sipping a delicious cocktail on the beach with palms swaying overhead while you are mesmerized by the beach in front of you is the perfect day in my book. That’s why I love videos like this one. Not only do they transport me to somewhere I’d rather be, they also let me know how I can create my own liquid...
Three Cool Caribbean Cocktails To Make Your Summer Hotter

What pairs better with a hot summer than a refreshing cold cocktail? Nothing. That’s why this list of three cocktails from the casually luxurious Le Guanahani, a Caribbean resort located in St. Bart’s/Barth’s/Bart/Barth/Bartholomew (I think I got them all), is as welcome as the sound of clinking ice in your “it’s so cold it’s sweating” cocktail glass. They take their mixology seriously at Le Guanahani where they include...

Let’s get one thing out of the way – I love rum launch parties. Granted, I’ve only been to one but it was love at first sight.

Now don’t get your hopes up – launch parties for rum aren’t free unless you’re considered part of the industry, hence the word “industry” as used in the first...

While a traditional ‘Ti Punch is made with rhum agricole, the take on it that I recently came up with features Plantation Pineapple Rum Stiggns’ Fancy, a more-than-suitable substitute. While some cocktail purists will decry you for even trying to claim this to be anything near a real ‘ti punch, you can brush them off with a simple wave of your hand as you enjoy what might possibly be the best room-temperature drink you’ll ever have....
Plantation Rum’s Golden Battle in the Fort
Tagged: cocktails, plantation rum, rum
I don’t know if the people behind the Plantation Rum cocktail competition at the Golden in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana planned to hold the event two days before National Rum Day but if they didn’t, I would just lie and claim that was the way they had it set up all along. It makes for a really cool story and a perfect tie in for this article so yeah, sure, that’s the way they planned it. After receiving over 100 submissions, the...
