Hello, Friends!

Are you as thirsty as I’ve been lately? Temperatures have been topping 100 almost all month and nothing seems to quench it - except some of the tropical drinks I’ve written about lately at my BellaOnline Cocktail’s site. Without realizing the connection till this moment, I see they’re all based on rum.

Why not turn to rum for quenching a thirst in the blazing heat? Caribbean Islanders have been relying on it for centuries. Mixed with tropical fruits in a tall glass of ice, cocktails such as the Strip and Go Naked and the Dark ‘n Stormy.
