Twelve Mile Limit (VR-Enabled)

This was a very popular cocktail during the Summer months. Make sure to make your own Grenadine (it’s too easy to go with store-bought options).

This is also one of the few tiki cocktails that doesn’t call for a Hamilton Beach blender. All you need to your handy cocktail shaker and you can be sipping in the sun in no time. Even if it’s freezing outside!

Cheers!

First Cocktail – The Shark’s Tooth (classic tiki)

My buddy came up for an afternoon cocktail and we had a Don the Beachcomber classic tiki drink, the “Shark’s Tooth”. Very similar flavors to a daiquiri (lime, rum, sugar), but with a flash blend (thanks to my new Hamilton Beach Mixer) and fresh mint sprigs, this one was a new experience. I’m planning a Summer Menu of Tiki drinks, so this was a great way to kick off “The Runaway Anchor”. Wherever I’m mixing, that’s where the anchor dropped.

Cheers!

The first cocktail is handed off!
