If you had pangs of wanderlust and beach-vacay-or-bust thoughts after reading about our magical trip to Caneel Bay Resort on St. John, you’re not alone. While we can’t pack our bags to go back right this minute, we decided the next best thing was to toast to plans for the next girls’ trip on the beautiful beaches on St. John with a few BBC cocktails.
While paying homage to the original with just a few WOM twists, our BBC cocktail recipe will no doubt become your new go-to tropical sip. And if you’re still wondering just what is a BBC cocktail, it stands for “Bailey’s Banana Colada” and it’d be hard to find a more perfect frozen drink when you’re beachside or poolside. Since we can’t be either today, we’re whipping up this sweet island concoction with a little Bailey’s Irish Cream, pina colada and rum, kicking back and closing our eyes to pretend we’re still in the Caribbean. Extra sunshine points for serving them in our Shop’s pineapple tumblers! Cheers! Truly, MKR

Oh my, this looks so crazy good! I’ve spent the last two weekends on little getaways…but to even colder places than here in Boston! Thinking about whipping up this cocktail this weekend to pretend I’m somewhere warmer 😉
Drooling.
Right?! Summer in a cup! xo
Me too, Gabriella!! I’m counting down until warmer days and this cocktail looks like it’ll help the process. 🙂 xo
