Island Punch

Island PunchIsland drinks are the cocktails of the summer.  Meant to be enjoyed while laying under the toasty summer sun on a beach towel or lawn chair – with the sound of the ocean waves lapping at the edge of the beach.  What a pretty picture.  It’s too bad not everyone is privileged enough to live near a beach. :(  So for those of you that can’t make it, this drink is for you. (It’s perfect for everyone, really, like we need an excuse to get a lil tipsy te he)  Sit back, relax and imagine yourself in an island paradise – sipping on some fruity punch.

2oz Orange Juice
