Sadly, as the beach fantasy has no chance of being fulfilled anytime in the near future, I have to settle: time to fix up some frou-frou tropical drinks. With tiki cocktail in hand, the heat cranked up, and my favorite Hawaiian print sundress dredged out from winter storage, I can close my eyes, inhale the good sunshiney scents of pineapple and coconut, and dream myself away to paradise. mai
tai *Grenadine is readily available in most supermarkets and liquor stores in the US. But if for some reason you can't get your hands on any -- a problem I've run into here in Edinburgh -- no worries. To make homemade grenadine, bring equal parts pomegranate juice and sugar to a boil. Let cool. Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice. Shake until the shaker's too cold to hold. Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a cocktail umbrella, some skewered fruit, or a combination of both.
