Here we’ve got a refreshing rum cocktail from Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar. They’re merging a 12 year rum with three classic tenants of island drinks–lime, ginger and bitters–plus some maple syrup for a rich sweetener. It looks good, tastes good and goes down easy. Drink one this spring and you’ll feel like it’s summer.
