Today was a very hot, very fun day in Cincinnati, Ohio, spent
with my wonderful step-daughter, her husband, my family, an old college bud and
her husband. Among the highlights were a spinning carnival ride, an exciting
Reds game, a trip to the best liquor store ever, chicken dancing on my seat at the
Hofbrauhaus, witnessing my son’s first pick-up and sipping a TASTE OF SUMMER
cocktail.

The TASTE OF SUMMER was the drink of the day at Gameworks in Newport, Kentucky, a
happy place just across the river from Cincy. The cocktail is made with Malibu
Sunshine rum, which just came out in May. Malibu Sunshine has the expected rum
and coconut flavor, but with the added tanginess of lemon and lime in an
eye-catching bottle. It is suppose to
taste like sunshine in a bottle and, I admit, it kinda does, especially when
combined with pineapple juice and Sprite, like in the TASTE OF SUMMER cocktail.
No shaker is needed. Just put the ingredients in a rocks glass, add ice and
stir.
The TASTE OF SUMMER will
get you excited for the three months ahead. The pineapple juice and new Malibu
work perfect together. The cocktail has a strong citrus taste, but it’s not so
overpowering that you don’t want more than one. In fact, by cocktail number
three, I was feeling sand between my toes and salt water in my eyes.
Drink Up^
