Something about being on or by the beach always invites<br />
a tasty cocktail directly to my vicinity. Good news is that<br />
we’re always by the beach! <strong>June</strong> is National Rum Punch<br />
Month and there has never been a better time to beat the summer<br />
heat than with a refreshing drink. Cabana El Rey offers their<br />
Cabana Rum Punch, described as a Caribbean masterpiece of<br />
light, dark and spiced rums shaken up with mango puree and<br />
a blend of fruit juices for $14. It is a delightful masterpiece! For<br />
another take on the punch, head over to Sandbar for their Cuban<br />
Punch, which is made with Bacardi raspberry rum, Bacardi<br />
mango rum, splash or amaretto, orange juice, pineapple juice<br />
and a splash of grenadine. Great news, it’s also available by the<br />
pitcher and they’re open daily at 11 a.m., so head over there before<br />
or (and!) after the beach to cool off. For a more inland experience,<br />
head over to Park Tavern for their take on the rum punch<br />
with their Guavalicious. Made with Plantation Rum, guava, fresh<br />
pineapple, grapefruit-serrano cordial for $12, you’ll be feelin’<br />
fine in no time. Please visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or<br />
call (561) 243-1077 for complete restaurant information.<br />
Thankful for Florida, there’s always time to enjoy the outdoors.<br />
We experience almost no weather-inhibiting days,<br />
save for the occasional hurricane. <strong>June</strong> is Great Outdoors<br />
Month and the perfect time to head outdoors and enjoy the<br />
pleasure of our peninsula. Maybe grab the bike and hit the <strong>Ave</strong>nue<br />
from end to end, stopping for an al fresco lunch or happy<br />
hour along the way. The beach is always a must, so grab a towel<br />
(and a sub from Sandwiches By The Sea!) and a book and make<br />
yourself comfortable with a front-row seat to the best <strong>Atlantic</strong>facing<br />
spot in town. Veteran’s Park is also a great destination,<br />
full of shade and plenty of people- and boat-watching opportunities.<br />
Or, take a stroll along the Intracoastal and enjoy viewing<br />
the endless blocks of historical and new homes along one of<br />
Delray’s slower streets. For a venue with a scene, head to Tin<br />
Roof for live music and some tasty food and beverages. Regardless<br />
of where you turn, there’s no bad spot in Delray! Please<br />
visit www.downtowndelraybeach.com or call (561) 243-1077<br />
for complete park and restaurant information.<br />
