Chase away the winter blahs with an island favorite.
I can’t think of a tastier way to make it through mid-January than with an island favorite – rum. The Rum Babalu makes for the perfect after-work happy hour, combining the sweet flavor of maple syrup with rum, ginger beer, lime juice and bitters. Round up your friends and open that tiki bar for this mouth-watering, signature cocktail.
Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan on Fifth Avenue at 45th Street, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar is the ideal location for lunch, dinner or Happy Hour. When the world opens, stop in and ask them to make you one. For now…here is the recipe, courtesy of Tommy Bahama.
