Believe me, the nimble bartenders over at this watering hole have concocted some of the most tempting and titillating drink mixes you’ll taste in a long while.

From cocktails that appeal to your every senses to smoothies that leave you with that beachy feeling, each brings its own sizzle with just the right dash of ingredients thrown in. Wray & Nephew white overproof rum a key element in the mix for most.

Who can have this?
