The Puerto Rican Cocktail is July 25th Drink of the Day!!

Puerto Rico’s history with the United States dates back to 1898 when Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the United States as part of the terms of the Treaty of Paris. Puerto Ricans have been official US Citizens since 1917. Puerto Rico became a Commonwealth on this date in 1952.

If you’re into tropical paradises this is a place you need to check out. One big plus is that you don’t have to have a passport to visit here. Plus, its a quick trip when flying out of Miami. You will see some of the clearest, cleanest, and densely populated beaches in this beautiful place. Plus, you will find some of the best rums that are made right on the island. With that fine rum comes some great tropical beverages. Here’s one that you can enjoy that blends the sweet with the sour that will be sure to be a hit at your next barbeque.

2 oz. Gold Rum
Pineapple Juice
Lemon Juice
Slice of Orange and Maraschino Cherry

Method: Begin by pouring the rum into a high-ball glass filled with ice. Top off with equal parts of pineapple juice and lemon juice. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry.
