Are you dreaming about the tropics? Just arrived back from holidays? Planning on going on a tropical vacation very soon? Need a little lift for a blah February day? Having company coming? I have just the right cocktail to take the blues away, Tropical Breeze Cocktail.
I had to think and think about this one. The name came to me quickly but the ingredients didn’t. I knew I wanted tropical juices and rum, but what else could I add that would be special and make this cocktail fantastic?
I have just come back from a cruise and had some delicious cocktails aboard ship but to be honest nothing as scrumptious as this one. What make is so good, you ask? Creme de Banane for me, it was just what I was looking for. Sweet banana adds so much to the already wonderful tropical flavors. I like the little bit of grenadine in the bottom too, to add fun to the drink. Give it a stir and you have a pinky orange delight!
