As a lot as we love an ice-cold margarita or frozen piña colada on a heat summer season night time, we’d by no means flip down a new drink that appears and sounds scrumptious. So, we had been thrilled to seek out the recipes in Tiki With a Twist. “Our enjoyable, lighthearted e book encourages you to flee, if just for an hour, to some faraway island brimming with sunshine, rum and glowing water,” says creator and tiki bar proprietor Lynn Calvo. “Let’s toast to discovering your individual tropical paradise, wherever it could be, when you absorb the solar and get impressed to create your individual tiki cocktails to get pleasure from with family members on that sandy seashore someplace — even when it’s in your individual yard.” Sip on considered one of these sensations alfresco tonight!
