Shark Bite

We have a niece who is infatuated with sharks. Well, let me rephrase that. I think she’s actually scared to death of sharks and being the wonderful aunt and uncle that we are, we send shark birthday cards and forward shark pictures and articles we come across. Thoughtful, aren’t we??! So, this one’s for you Sammy!

Anyway, Sammy was kind enough to remind us earlier this week that is was, in fact, Shark Week again on the Discovery Channel! So, today when we ran across a Shark Bite Cocktail Recipe on Facebook, I thought it would be appropriate to try it out and of course post a picture or two along with the recipe.

It’s actually a beautiful looking drink, as long as you don’t really think of why someone thought it looked like a Shark Bite…

Mai-Tai’s

Ahhh, the Mai Tai. Claimed to have been created in 1944 by Victor Jules Bergeron (Trader Vic), his claim was later disputed by the owner of the Hollywood Bar, Don the Beachcomber’s. Regardless of it’s contested beginnings, this delightful, tropical drink will make you feel like you are sitting under a swaying palm in Hawaii.

Other rums can be substituted for the dark and aged rums listed, but be sure to use a good quality rum that you really enjoy.  Ke aloha!

Banana Mango Tango

Memorial Day is traditionally the kick-off for summer so with that we thought we should spend some time this weekend concocting some new summertime rum drinks.  We assessed the array of bottles in the liquor cabinet, went to the store and purchased a few more, then set out to create a new summertime favorite.

Jump to Recipe

After a few less than stellar entries, we came up with what we felt was a winner that we’ll enjoy and  serve to some of our guests this summertime! We felt the banana and mango “tangoed” nicely together in this light and refreshing drink. So now, we introduce to you the Rum Therapy Banana Mango Tango!
