One in all our new and already confirmed to be hottest cocktails at Floridays Woodfire Bar & Grill known as “Swim with the Fishes.” It not solely packs a punch, however can be indicative of our idea.
Floridays is positioned on the water in sunny southwest Florida with the vast majority of our seating —together with the bar — being outdoor. When folks arrive contemporary off a seashore or boat day, they need one thing refreshing.
Through the summer season months, I wish to lean into “island mode,” so when selecting the liquors, Caribbean-inspired was an apparent alternative. Having the chance to journey fairly a bit to the Bahamas and luxuriate in basic Bahama Mamas, I couldn’t not create my very own model for our menu.
This cocktail additionally pairs very nicely with the contemporary grouper, snapper and hogfish dishes we’re recognized for, particularly when the fish is blackened. The citrus juices tamper down a few of the warmth from the rums, and the contact of grenadine provides a barely candy end, serving to to chill the spice from the blackening seasoning.
