If you’re thinking, let’s get that Springtime groove back, well here’s a little something to put some pep in your step. Try my Lemon Coconut Rum Runner. With Mother’s Day around the corner, what a perfect refreshment to share with all Mom’s on their special day. This refreshing cocktail seduces you with flavors of the tropics with a punch from Coconut Rum. Prepared in a shaker, served in a tall glass or milk bottle as I used with ice combined with tangy lemonade, tart Sweet & Sour Mix, juice of 1/2 lemon, topped with a splash of club soda for fizz. Garnish your cocktail with a Maraschino cherry and lemon peel. A perfect toast to Springtime and to Mom. Think about serving this cocktail at your first Springtime barbecue featuring Coconut Marinated Shrimp and a crisp salad with all the fixins. Don’t mind me…I’m in a Springtime kinda mood. Trust me, one cocktail will not be enough. Make sure you have plenty on hand. Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms. Miss you Mom…Cheers!
