The Pirates Rumedy is a more traditional tropical cocktail. With combination of fruit juices and a splash of rum, this cocktail will have you singing the pirate’s life for me.

And, if you prefer a classic cocktail the Bottom of the Barrel is a take on the old-fashioned. The cardamon bitters and the smoked bourbon will have you feeling like your king of the ship.

Of course, the pirates aren’t the only people getting a special cocktail. For all the princesses of the high seas, the Starlight Princess cocktail is pretty in pink. Plus, who can resist a little edible glitter and crown. You do have to provide your own scepter.
