January 2026 – Parasol

This month we move to a simpler and more tropical drink to start off 2026.   The Parasol is a wonderful tropical drink that is simple to make, since it only has four ingredients.  Those ingredients have the flavors of banana, pineapple and lime and this classic is a breeze to make.  Sometimes simple is best and when you can mix together rum, lime juice, a banana liqueur and pineapple juice in less than 5 minutes and end up with a cocktail that exudes tropical vibes and transports you away from the winter blahs you can’t go wrong.  Enjoy!!!!
