If your ideal day consists of sitting on a beautiful, sunny beach with your toes in the sand and one of many beach bar drinks in your hand, then you know how to live the good life. No good beach is complete without a good beach bar either. The next time you’re headed to the beach for a little R and R, make sure you head to the bar for another kind of R – refreshment – in the form of one of these tropical treats!
Mai Tai
Few things can top this traditional tiki bar drink. It’s a strong rum-based cocktail with orange curaçao, but with orgeat syrup and lime, it rounds out the flavors to be sweet and refreshing. Have a couple of these and you’ll be ready to dance the hula in no time.
Piña Colada
This beach bar drinks like this frozen version can be the ultimate refresher for a beach day. What’s better than rum, coconut and pineapple? Nothing makes you feel more like you’re on vacation than this drink.
Margarita
Frozen or on the rocks, the margarita is a drink that totally screams, “PARTY!!!” That’s because it’s made with a heavy pour of tequila. Salt or no salt, the margarita is another libation that feels like a vacation away from the day to day with every sip.
Bahama Mama
For a more Caribbean beach bar drinks delight, try this concoction which dares to venture into uncharted territories. It’s light rum and Kahlua mixed with lemon juice and pineapple juice. While it indeed sounds like a bizarre pairing, this just proves that sometimes, opposites do attract.
Hurricane
With a name like this, it has to be strong. And it is. It’s filled with both dark and light rum and mixed with passion fruit, orange and pineapple juices. Each sip brings the strength as well as the light, and is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Dirty Banana
Are you the kind of person that likes those frozen chocolate-covered bananas? Then this one is for you. It’s another frozen concoction but unlike the piña colada, it takes bananas and blends them with Kahlua, rum, and rum cream liqueur. It’s sweet and naughty, making for a blissful way to spend the day in the sun.
Strawberry Daiquiri
One of the most popular beach drinks ever, the strawberry daiquiri is still going strong. Bursting with strawberries and rum, it goes down smooth. A little too smooth sometimes, so beware!
Miami Vice
This drink gives beachgoers the best of both worlds. If you can’t decide between a piña colada or a strawberry daiquiri, why not have both? It’s half of one and half of the other in one cup. Sipping a drink like this as you watch the waves roll in from the sea will definitely make you say, “This is the life!”
