The Tropical Windchill

It’s not a below-zero windchill, but 75 degrees at 5 o’clock in the afternoon is chilly by St. John standards. And it was dark and rainy all day long.

Serious, steady rain.

A good day to invent a cocktail.

After an entire day of trial and error, we present “The Tropical Windchill.”

Equal parts coconut rum and banana rum, orange juice and a just a splash of cranberry juice.

Rainy days aren’t bad!

Good to see you found a way to survive the horrible weather…that sounds like one of those drinks, where after 5 or 6 you mumble….”I can hardly taste the alcohol” just before you fall off your bar stool…

Sounds Yummy! I feel real bad for you, we are suffering with 20 degrees here in New Jersey. I think you should make up a new rainy day game – OSJ drink flashcards. So you can sorta play go fish and make a new drink up every time you take a turn with the other players see who can outlast who. You may end up having an adult sleep over.

Happy New Year!

I think we’ll make one of these here in Woodstock, NY and pretend it’s not 22 and snowing – much better than yesterday’s high of 18 with gusts of wind that brought the wind chill to 10 below zero! I moved down here from the Adirondcks for the tropical weather-guess I should have kept going till I reached St. John!

OK Guys, this is one heck of a drink. 20 degrees in Missouri as I write this…and temps falling into the single digits. THIS drink will keep through until spring. As good as it is, I have 6 hours to midnight….not gonna make it.
