Drink of the Day: Tahiti Club
Today I was feeling in the tropical spirit, (Don’t know why….it’s only in the 30’s where I’m at), and this is the cocktail that came to mind. A perfect Tuesday evening treat that you can not only enjoy due to the flavor of the ingredients, you will also enjoy the aroma as you bring the glass to your lips. Close your eyes and you will think you are somewhere nice and warm.
You can’t go wrong with rum cocktails with fruit juices and citrus. Adding some maraschino liqueur to the equation gives it an added element that only intensifies the enjoyment. Very easy to make, this tropical treat will be one you will want to share with your friends.
Hope your Tuesday is a great one. Cheers!
