The Jamaican Paradise is March 5th Drink of the Day!!

March 5, 2014 | By Shaun Daugherty | Add a Comment

You rum lovers out there are gonna have a heyday with this one! Three rums compliment one another on this tropical beverage and,with the help of melon liqueur and pineapple juice, you will have yourself one nice and colorful tiki beverage that will be just right for the weather change coming up here very shortly, (hopefully!!). The name of this cocktail works out perfectly.

If you are into sweet and fruity, you will find yourself making a lot of these once the pool parties get under way. The only thing missing on this is the garnish umbrella. Enjoy and think warm thoughts when sipping on a couple of these. Cheers!
