So unfortunately all of these “refreshments” over the weekend made us a little tardy to the party on our posts… but we will make up for it in the weeks to come, obviously.

I was at a fabulous bachelorette party in Nassau all weekend, so made an appropriately tropical drink: a very simple rum punch. Extremely cool and refreshing in the scorching heat.

Here is what you will need for four cocktails:

4 oz dark rum such as Myers’s
2 oz grenadine syrup
4 oz orange juice — I used fresh-squeezed, made a huge difference!
4 oz pineapple juice
Ice

Combine all ingredients in a blender, then fill almost all the way with ice.

Blend, serve, and enjoy!

I also made a very quick and easy salsa fresca to accompany it – perfect for summer entertaining!
