Recipes

Pump it up with a fruitier, premium version of a long island standard. The Berry Island Tea
gets ½ oz each of the four whites – vodka, gin, rum, and triple sec. From there we add a dash
of sweet & sour, a good splash of lemon-lime soda, ¼ oz of blueberry schnapps, and a final
fill with organic berry nectar. Big glass, big ice, big straw, and garnish with a berry kabob.

The spell is upon you, so grab a pint glass, pack it with ice, and start the build with 1oz each
of the following: spiced rum, coconut rum, melon liqueur, orange juice, and pineapple juice.
After all of that, there should be enough room to throw a splash of club soda on top.
Garnish – The Big Bad Voodoo Cooler doesn’t get one, unless you beg . . .

Change into your swim shorts or hot little bikini, and head on out to where everybody else
is hangin’, By The Pool. Build this drink in a tall or poco grande glass filled with ice, and
add 1oz vodka, ½ oz peach schnapps, ½ oz melon liqueur, fill with cold lemon-lime soda
and top with a splash of orange juice. Garnish with a melon and peach ball with umbrella.

Soon after you get checked into your room, you’ll be livin’ it up at the Hotel California.
What a lovely place. What a tasty recipe. Starting off with a parfait glass and the use of a
blender, put in 1 scoop of orange sherbet with a little bit of cracked ice, and pour in 2 oz
apricot brandy and 3-4 oz of orange soda, depending on how thick or thin you want it.

Finished with the day’s tan, the Lady In The Shade wants her drink in a tumbler over
lots of ice, and now! Pour 1oz tequila, 1oz melon liqueur, and fill with grapefruit juice.
Garnish with lemon and lime wheels, and an umbrella.

The L’aird of Summer Isle is as old fashioned as it gets. And so it goes, in an old fashioned
glass, filled with cubed or cracked ice. Shake & strain 1 ½ oz scotch, ½ oz licorice liqueur,
and 3 oz of pineapple juice. That’s it. No garnish necessary.

As the evening music continues to flow, and as the CD player is on random selection, the
great sound of Pink Floyd fills the glass. ½ - ¾ oz each of amber rum, coconut rum, and
peach schnapps. Fill with cold pink lemonade and dash the top with grenadine for color.
Garnish with a cherry and sip back under the dark side of the moon.

This romantic coastal town is always just what the doctor ordered. With a gentle breeze
as we walk up and down State Street, the Santa Barbara Sunset is something to behold.
Shake & strain the following in a chilled martini glass: 2 oz gin, ¾ oz apricot brandy,
juice of ½ lime, 2 oz orange juice, and a dash of grenadine or raspberry syrup.

So sweet and so shy. Yeah, right! Turn away for five seconds and the next thing you know,
she’s Skinny Dippin’. No complaints though. In an old fashioned glass with cracked ice,
 pour in 1 ½ oz vodka, ½ oz peach schnapps, ½ oz amaretto, and top with a splash of
cranberry juice. Garn with a slice of peach.
As the Ocean air is cruising through your hair, imbibe your buds with a slight Asian slant.
The Sparkling Ginger Breeze requires you to grab a tumbler, throw some cracked ice in it,
and a pouring over we go. 1oz vodka, ½ oz ginger liqueur, splashes of grapefruit and
cranberry juices, and top with ginger ale. Garn with a ruby red slice of grapefruit.

It’s time for something blenderfied. Get out a large parfait glass of sorts or whatever looks
cool, and get some ice that actually works well in a blender, not leaving any big chunks around.
Start out with 1 oz of spiced rum, ½ oz of vanilla schnapps, ½ oz of either orange liqueur or
parfait amour liqueur. Then add dashes of orange juice and cream. Put the top on and start the
engine until it runs smooth and thick. And there you have it, the classic Spicy Creamsicle.
Garnish with a slice of orange and a violet petal.

Carrying your board in from a couple hours of waverunning, be sure to quench your thirst
with the Surf Room Mai Tai. Shake & strain the following over crushed ice in a tumbler:
¾ oz each of white or amber rum, dark rum, and demerara rhum. Then add ¼ oz orange
curacao, 1oz each of orange and pineapple juice, ½ fresh lime juice, ¼ oz fresh lemon
juice, ¼ oz orgeat syrup and ¼ oz simple syrup. Add garnishes.

As the waveriders hit the shores, The Surfer is a flavored martini with 1 ½ oz vodka,
¾ oz coconut rum, and a splash of banana liqueur. Shake and strain into a chilled stem
of choice, and garnish with a surfboard-shaped pineapple spear. Only a few ounces
in size, it’s a nice appetizer with breakfast!
