Piña Colada Cupcake

Ahhh….Piña Coladas. The taste simply transports us back to the islands. With only 1/4 c. rum in the recipe, these tasty cupcakes don’t pack quite as much punch as the actual cocktail, but that means you can probably enjoy them anytime!

A dark rum creates a delectable glaze for these spare ribs, which start cooking in the oven and finish off on the grill.

Mojito Jello Shots

Although not the easiest to put together, these little works of art are really yummy too. Don’t have enough time to make something this fancy? No problem – just pour into the plastic shot glasses – not quite as beautiful a presentation, but just as tasty.

Hog Heaven, Virgin Gorda

There are bars with a view and then there are bars with a VIEW! Hog Heaven is a Bar & Grill sitting high atop Virgin Gorda with an absolutely beautiful view of the entire North Sound.

Hog Heaven 3
From your perch in the sky, you can see Leverick Bay, Bitter End Yacht Club, Saba Rock Resort, Necker Island and The Sandbox on Prickly Pear Island.
On clear days, you can even make out a faint strip of Anegada in the distance.

Hog Heaven is a small, unassuming  building on top of the hill on Nail Bay Road overlooking North Sound. It’s owned by Blondie, who apparently is also a pig farmer/ship captain on Virgin Gorda.

One of the rum drinks on the menu was a Blondie Special and we ordered that and a rum punch and took a seat to drink in the view.

Hog Heaven 6

Hog Heaven is known for its BBQ, so we decided to order a plate, as well as a bowl of Conch Chowder. Both were delicious and very reasonably priced.
