Cheers!

We rarely never say no to happy hour. Here are some of the concoctions we use to toast another day in paradise (or drown our sorrows after fixing a head).

Rum Punch

1. Ice
2. Rum
3. Juice of half a lemon or lime
4. Heavy splash of juice or soda (or both)
   • Our faves include: Sprite or Ginger Ale, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice
5. Seltzer water to the top of the glass

Painkiller

Shake together vigorously:

1. Ice
2. Rum
3. Splash of coconut milk (though sweetened coconut creamer is to die for, if you have it)
4. Juice of half a lemon or lime
5. Heavy splash of pineapple juice
6. Nutmeg

Pour into your glass and top with a splash of seltzer water (or Sprite-type soda if you want it sweeter). 

Give a stir (the drink will (froth a little) and top with more nutmeg. 

Feeling fancy? Add a pineapple spear.

Margarita

1. Ice
2. Tequila
3. Juice of 1 lime
4. Seltzer water
5. (Add a splash of Sprite or OJ for a little extra sweetness)

Other ways we mix it up onboard:

Muddle in a few slices of jalapeño 
Use a flavored seltzer option 
Add a splash of any juice we have on hand

Out of rum? Vodka subs for just about anything. We’re not picky.

Booze-free option? Skip Step 2.

Hudson’s Homemade Ginger Beer

1. Peel a chunk of fresh ginger root
2. Mash/Muddle and toss in a saucepan with a cup of water and a cup of white sugar
3. Boil (and stir) until sugar is completely dissolved
4. Add a shot of your ginger simple syrup and a squeeze of lemon to seltzer water for a homemade ginger beer (of sorts)
5. Keep leftover simple syrup in the fridge
6. (This is also delicious added to cocktails. Don’t tell Hudson)
