Weekend Poolside Party

I try to manage a balance and healthy diet throughout the week; I really do. But a girl has got to live and to live requires a little more exciting weekend meals and drinks. On some weekends and holidays, I prefer a tasty meal accompanied by a cool mix drink. I can work out all week and diet all year, but it's not satisfying until I get to taste an exquisite cuisine and succumb to delicious drink.

I was recently introduced to the most delicious summer drink, the Bahama Colada by  BACARDI®. This drink, created for and tailored to me, is beautiful and flavorful. The blend of coconut and kiwi is tropical and delicious. (The Bahama Colada is made with 1 can frozen BACARDI® Mixers Piña Colada Mix, 1 cup BACARDI® Gold, 1⁄4 cup BACARDI® Coconut, 1 kiwi, 1/3 cup lime juice, 4 cups of ice and 1 kiwi for garnish.)

I made a large batch of the drink last weekend and invited some friends over for a little tropical BACARDI® party by the pool. The  BACARDI® rum and mixers paired beautifully with snacks such as mixed fruits, chips and salsa. I managed to locate some frozen whole coconuts to use as a side drink and decoration. My friends loved the party and were particularly blown away by the Bahama Colada. The weather has been so hot lately that everyone naturally gravitated towards the cool mixed drinks.

I had a few coupons from BACARDI® Mixers that my friends were very quick to take. Five minutes after I put out the coupons, they were completely gone. The BACARDI® Mixers made throwing a party so simple. I added some mixers to the BACARDI® rum, mixed it up and all the drinks taste like something you would get at a nice bar or restaurant.
