Rum Babalu Cocktail(c) Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar

It’s National Rum Day (well, of course it is, I mean, it’s always National “fill in the blank” Day, right?) and I typically don’t get behind this new trend of each day celebrating something. However, I couldn’t pass up a day to celebrate rum! Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar will be celebrating the day with this Rum Babalu cocktail, but for those of us that can’t make it to Tammy Bahama’s (#sad) we can still celebrate.

Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar is generously sharing their Rum Babalu cocktail recipe with us. Lucky us! I have everything in the cocktail bar and pantry to make this tasty cocktail except the Angostura bitters. I have Angostura orange bitters though so I’ll make the cocktail with orange bitters instead. I think it will still taste fantastic!
