Episode 44: Antigua and Tropical Cocktails (part 1)

Hi Guys, Just got back from my trip to Antigua and we have so much to cover on this amazing tropical island that we decided to break the one recording into two shows for you. This is part one. Thanks and shout out to the staff of the Starfish Jolly Beach Resort and Jermaine (our tour guide). We will be talking about new cocktails that we had down on the island and there is a nice range of drinks (one sweet, one middle, and one boozy)!!We first start off with the Purple Dragon (Thanks to Sharlene at the resort who gave us the recipe), second is a national drink in Antigua and we even found bottled in the liquor stores. We want to thank Johnny Tved on the Kon Tiki Floating bar to give us the recipe to this one...hi Johnny!! Yes, I did say floating as it is in the ocean and you can either swim there or a small boat will get you to and from the bar. The third drink will be featured in the next episode for you!The island is about 100 km east of St. Kitts or 500 km east of Dominican Republic. It is about 108 square miles in size (11x14 miles) and has about 100, 000 people for its population. English is the main language on the island and get this...there are 365 beaches (one for every day of the year)!! I went to eight!!We did visit and we briefly discuss the donkey sanctuary that we went to and yes, Norma adapted a donkey (Stevie, who is blind)! Plus also a floating tiki bar...did I mention that before and of course I got behind there and made up one of my cocktails for the owner. The highest point on the island is named after figure in USA history...listen to find out!!!On "Travel Tips" segment: yes, i finally got Norma behind the microphone again and she went through some new ones for you when you travel to know plus a recap of previous ones if you haven't heard them before.
