Our traditional 'arrival drink' is an Aruba Ariba on the beach at the Radisson! Generally don't have another one of these during our vacation..... too many other great tropical drinks to sample. But, it is our 'starter'.
Aruba Ariba
1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz 151 rum (better if using Ron Rico from Aruba)
1/8 oz Coecoei
1/8 oz Creme de Banana
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup pineapple juice OR you're favorite "punch drink"
Splash of Grenadine
Do not shake, just stir lightly. Top with a "flag" toothpick and a cherry and orange. Top with Grand Marnier.
