Celebrate National Cocktail Day at Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Bar

While many are gearing up for tomorrow's St. Patrick's Day celebrations and an over abundance of green beer, another alcohol based holiday is literally right around the corner: National Cocktail Day. National Cocktail Day is celebrated on March 24th (next Thursday) and it promises to be a delicious day indeed! Folks living, working and travelling through the New York City area are encouraged to drop by Tommy Bahama Restaurant and Bar and enjoy one of their many cocktails. From the classic mojito to a tropics infused punch, Tommy Bahama is known for their mouth watering cocktails. For those wanting to try something new, the Rum Babalu features sweet maple syrup blended with lime juice, rum, ginger beer and bitters. If you can't make it to the Big Apple to celebrate in person, Tommy Bahama was gracious enough to share the recipe for their signature cocktail so I can share it with all of you!
