We are here to bring you recipes you want, and will love. We only had one RUM cocktail on our blog, and it has created quite a SPIKE in traffic (see what I did there 😉)....so I felt like adding another BEACH SIDE RUM DRINK was fitting.⁠⁠Oh, and although I garnished with pineapple leaves from a fresh pineapple, this drink is made with frozen fruit that I bought at Trader Joes. ⁠⁠One last thing. This is not a CLASSIC DAIQUIRI. That is made with just 3 ingredients: Rum, Lime Juice and Sugar. So, if you are looking for that, keep scrolling...⁠⁠BUT! IF you DO LOVE a FRUITY, RUM drink, then RUN, don’t walk TO THE LINK IN BIO and TAP THAT COCKTAIL PHOTO to get the recipe!⁠⁠SAVE. LIKE. SHARE. ⁠⁠Have the best day, friends!⁠⁠XOXO, Dina and Bruce⁠⁠⁠
