(Tiki tender at Bikini Bar)

As if the Rusty Knot's coconut glasses, Elettaria's Mai Tais, Flatiron Lounge's Zombies and PDT's Beach Bums weren't enough to signal that tiki drinks are all the rage, the Distilled Spirits Council's party the other night at Bikini Bar (actually a furniture showroom) drove the trend home with a bi-level blowout that featured Coconut Grenades, Dark and Stormies and pupu platters, of course (courtesy of Chop Suey). Surfboards lined the ceilings, Elvis's Blue Hawaii filled the big screen, and the food & bev set got lei-d left and right. One drink I'd like to see more of is the Baja Peach Press, simply because I'm a sucker for any cocktail with mint in it. For those nights when you and yours break out the uke and cozy up to the "Brady Bunch" Hawaii episodes, consider toasting with this tiki classic.

Baja Peach Press

1 1/2 oz. Cruzan Estate dark rum

2 lemon wedges

3/4 oz. peach puree

1/2 oz. simple syrup

6-8 mint leaves

Place the mint leaves, lemon and simple syrup into a mixing glass and muddle. Add rum, peach puree and isce. Shake and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with a mint sprig.

Impotence causes

Women's underwear can be a fetish for some men, I think this is very logical, obviously just the fact that women bring something sexy and go to the room with their wives is something irresistible to many. This article clearly reflects the more attractive side of some women, like me much, I'll be waiting for the next article. thanks.
