Tropical Island Cocktail


  It's Labor Day weekend and we all know that Summer is winding down. With that being
  said...I know I'm looking forward to some Fall baking and cooking. I have been trying
  to perfect this cocktail for about a year and I think it's finally perfect to share. Even with
  the cooler months fast approaching you will still love this tropical drink. It's like a -
  vacation in a glass. Enjoy.
           
                                                               Tropical Island Cocktail

                                                               1 ounce coconut rum
                                                               1 ounce spice rum
                                                               1 ounce banana liqueur
                                                               2 ounces pineapple juice
                                                               2 ounces orange juice
                                                               a splash of grenadine

                 1) Fill a large glass with ice, pour in first 5 ingredients. Mix with a spoon.
                 Add grenadine and garnish with cherries and pineapple.

    Oh yum!! This drink is calling my name. Especially since these last 2 days have been scorching. Are you DYING of heat? I don't have AC and there is literally no breeze. Luckily it doesn't happen too often, I could never live in the desert. Lol. Happy end of Summer :)
