I can’t believe January and #TikiTheSnowAway are nearly over! I never want it to end! At this point, I’m starting to wonder if I should just open a Tiki joint….This cocktail really reminded me of something I might order at NoMad Bar. Something about the combination of Coconut Milk, DD Mix and the two Citrus Juices gives Beach Blanket Bazonga a sultry flavor while still being totally Beach party ready.

Beach Blanket Bazonga

• 1 oz Hayman’s Old Tom Gin
• 1 oz Flor de Caña 7 Aged Rum
• 1/2 oz DD Mix
• 1 oz Coconut Milk
• 3/4 oz Freshly squeezed Grapefruit Juice
• 1/2 oz Freshly squeezed Orange Juice
• 2 dashes Regans’ Orange Bitters
• Garnish: Mint sprig

Combine ingredients in tin and shake it gurrrrrrl, shake!  Strain into double rocks glass and serve on one big rock or crushed ice if you have it. Spank the Mint and garnish.

*You may have to whip the coconut milk for a bit with a whisk if it’s chunky. Whip away!
