Tommy Bahama Valentine’s Blush Cocktail

Tommy Bahama Valentine Blush Cocktail
Gin Elderberry Blush

I’ve always been a gin girl. Ever since college at the University of Georgia during Sigma Chi Derby Days, I have love a good gin cocktail or quite frankly, a martini. Sigma Chi Derby is where my knickname, Irby Derby, was created and that’s where I was introduced to gin. Is gin “bikini”? Like most, and I do mean MOST not ALL, foods and beverages, as long as you don’t go overboard with consumption, gin can be bikini or at the very least fit into a healthy Bikini Lifestyle.

Tommy Bahama has long been a favorite shopping destination for me… one reason, they are located in spectacular communities. Another reason, they sell quality clothes. And, in recent years, they added restaurants to their repertoire with incredibly delicious menu selections from tuna to burgers to their famous Coconut Shrimp along side their craft cocktail menu.

This Valentine’s Day “Think Pink” and try the Valentine’s Blush at Tommy Bahama restaurants. This hand-crafted cocktail combines gin, elderberry liqueur, Ruby Red grapefruit juice and a splash of soda. Garnished with fresh tarragon and fresh grapefruit slices, this cocktail is as refreshing as it looks.
