Nothing beats relaxing with a tropical drink in hand while lounging by the pool at a luxurious Caribbean resort or under a thatched-roof cabana on a beach that could be on another planet. The only catch is that we can’t spend all of our time lazing on those beaches and resorts. Therefore, if the desire to indulge in a delectable concoction arises, we must resort to making it ourselves, and even then, we may not have the appropriate recipe.
Thanks to the talented blender ninjas at Bahama Breeze, we now have access to the recipe for the BahamaRita, an essential cocktail for any self-respecting beach bum. If you can do this, your guests will think of your house as a resort.
Ingredients:
- Fresh kiwi, mango, and strawberry (Peel the kiwi and mango, and cut into slices, each weighing 10-11 oz. each)
- 1.25 lb. Granulated sugar
- Three to four lemons, limes and oranges
- Cuervo Gold Tequila
- Dekuyper Cactus Juice Schnapps (chilled)
How to Make It:
1. For the simple syrup: combine sugar with 16 oz. of warm water until dissolved. Refrigerate half of mix.
2. For the margarita mix: squeeze juice from halves of lime, orange, and lemon into a quart container and add remaining half of the simple syrup to the fruit juice. Then refrigerate the mix. These two mixes will last for 24 hours.
4. To serve: blend Margarita mix, tequila, and ice until thick. Add two teaspoons of each ice in the bottom of your chilled Martini glass. Top with the thick margarita mix.
5. Mix a shot of Cactus Juice into the drink. Place lime and orange wedge on the rim to serve.
