Drink of the Day: Bahama Mama
Good morning and Happy President’s Day!
Some of you are taking it easy and relaxing on this national holiday. Unfortunate for me, I am not one of those people. In fact, I am not looking forward to walking outside today. Where I sit, it is a frigid minus 8 degrees fahrenheit right now. Hopefully we will see zero before I have to go out to start the car. I am beginning to question my sanity, living in such a cold climate. To be the optimist, we are close to seeing warmer weather. It could be October and not February right now. I think I can tolerate a few more weeks of this.
To keep me more sane, I am going to fix up a cocktail that is meant for the warmer climates. This is a staple in the islands. A fruity, yet potent, cocktail that will make you forget about the weather outside. The Bahama Mama will be sure to knock out those winter time blues.
Hope you have a great start to your week. Be sure to tell your friends about us.
Cheers!
