Tropical Island Iced Tea

Don’t let the pink color fool you. The Tropical Island Iced Tea is a variation of the Long Island Iced Tea and can pack the same punch. Don’t let the pink color fool you. The Tropical Island Iced Tea is a variation of the Long Island Iced Tea and can pack the same punch. Refreshing and not overly sweet, this could become a summer favorite! We found the original recipe on SippitySup.com, but changed it up a bit and added the whole can of Kern’s Guava Nectar to make a slightly less potent and more refreshing drink. Delicious! Bring on summer!

Tropical Island Iced Tea

1 oz spiced rum (we used Cockspur Spiced Rum)
1 oz vodka
1 oz tequila
1 oz gin
1 oz cointreau
11.5 oz guava nectar (we used Kern’s Guava Nectar)

Funky Monkey

A while back, we were asked to locate the recipe for a Funky Monkey, a blended drink that FB friend Carol had enjoyed while vacationing in the Caribbean. We came across several versions, but most contained a delectable combination of rum, banana, coconut and chocolate…

After a little bit of “research” on the amounts of each ingredient, we came up with the following recipe. Tweek the amounts to create the best blending of tastes for your palate!

Caribbean Mist

We recently ran across a picture of a beautiful blue rum drink called a Caribbean Mist on a website called Something Turquoise (picture of the drink). The hue of this drink was an amazing color, similar to the color of the water in say, The Bahamas, or Turks and Caicos. We needed to try it.

The recipe is simple and we had the ingredients on hand, so we mixed up a batch. The color was greener than pictured, so we tried one more time.

Now we’re certainly not rocket scientists, but pineapple juice is yellow and Blue Curacao is blue and when you mix yellow and blue you get…green. So – this is how the drink looked when we made it the second time.

The color was still not as blue as the beverage featured on the website, but it was pretty and had a wonderful light and fruity taste.

Pour it into a champagne glass and this beverage would work well for brunches or other nice occasions.

Print Recipe

Caribbean Mist

Servings:

3 oz Mango Rum (we used Cruzan Mango)
3 oz Pineapple Juice
3 oz Soda water (approximately)
Dash Blue Curacao

Lightly dip the rim of each champagne glass in lemon or lime juice, then into the sugar (sanding sugar if available).
Fill the glasses with crushed ice.
Pour the rum, pineapple juice and the dash of Blue Curacao in a shaker with ice and shake.
Pour the mixture in the glasses, then fill the rest of the glass with soda water.

Bob Marley Rum Drink

We sampled our first Bob Marley Drink – a shooter which was actually lit on fire before we drank it (don’t try this at home!!) during the Bob Marley Nine Mile Tour.

Skinny Piña Colada

In light of our recent “skinny” cocktail recipe postings, we were asked by Facebook friend Sherri if we could include a recipe for a Skinny Piña Colada. Certainly, we thought, we could find a way to take a bite out of the calories of this high calorie coconut creme and juice based cocktail whose taste takes us right to the islands?

Well, in this recipe, we did decrease the calorie level from 278.5 for one serving of our regular Piña Colada Recipe to 142 calories per serving in the following Skinny Piña Colada! For just a little added kick – add a .5 oz dark rum floater for an additional 32 calories :)

Skinny Mojitos

Now that the holidays are over, we’ve been busy testing “Skinny” Rum Drinks – or cocktails with lower calorie counts. We’ve been enjoying Skinny Strawberry Rum & Lemonade for quite some time, but we thought it would be good to have a few in the repertoire to change it up a little.

Mojitos seemed a logical choice since we enjoy the heck outta them, so we tried out a Skinny Mojito & a Skinny Strawberry Mojito and really like them both! If you like your mojito on the sweeter side, use the Sprite Zero or Diet 7-Up and adjust your lo-cal sweetener level. Like your mojitos a little less sweet? Use club soda instead of the Sprite Zero or Diet 7-up. Want more rum in your drink? 80 proof rum is 65 calories per ounce, so just adjust per taste (and desired calorie level!)

The recipes below have just about the right amount of sweet and tart for our taste – feel free to modify for your taste. Enjoy!
