Tiki drinks have a natural history of extravagance and so the mai tai fits in well here to the Mardi Gras theme, as does the Hurricane Suzy with its opulent ingredient list and funky hurricane glass (which lets face it, is a cool glass design). Brazil is home to Mardi Gras so the list wouldn't feel complete without the classic Caipirinha, and why have a normal daiquiri when you can go crazy with the raspberry version. So check out some of these cocktails during this time and get in the mood to party!]]> Thu, 16 February 2012 17:27:31 GMT List <![CDATA[{List} Member List 'Superbowl XLVI' created]]> Let the friends bring the beer's, and create some of these great tasting cocktails on superbowl day.
