Barefoot Barista and "Stealing Happy Hours"

I'll Be Here a While

The wind flows through your hair... the dancing shadows of palm leaves create a radiant yet shaded canopy... the warm, giving sand cradles you like an oceanfront mattress... muffled steel drums filter through the trees and grace your ears... the sound of the ocean gently crashing nearby acts as a nautical alarm and you open your eyes to your real time paradise. Coffee is the first thing on your mind, and the coconuts on the ground nearby make you crave tropical fruit. But the last thing you want to do is get up from your sandy dwelling. Lucky for you, a Cabana Boy approaches. "I thought you were going to sleep all day!" he chuckles. The sun surrounds him, and you give your drink order to a silhouette. Squinting with one eye open, you collect yourself. "Will you bring me something with coffee and coconut in it?" you request. He smiles, "I have just the thing." Turning around while walking away, he shouts back at you, "don't forget your sandals. They're right over there." You glance back toward the sea. Your sandals sit askew just feet from the water. Two forgotten essentials you abandoned once you reached the sand. Your seaside steward returns shortly after you pick up your sun-warmed slippers and he greets you again, this time with a tasty looking beverage...

Barefoot Barista 

In celebration of 3/11 day (March 11th) we thought we'd resurrect a 90's classic from the band 311. For your day off when you're ready for your morning coffee, but you're also ready for a tasty cocktail to enjoy. Or maybe you're on a beach somewhere on vacation, or you're at home and it's your day off... at any rate, we believe this is the perfect cocktail designed with you and your sunglasses in mind. A beautiful blend of espresso, coconut milk and coconut rum. Who said Happy Hour has to be 4pm -6pm?? Stealing Happy Hours means having your own Happy Hour whenever you feel like it! Morning, noon or night!

Ingredients:

2 oz fresh brewed espresso

2 oz coconut rum

1 oz canned coconut milk

Method:

Walk up to your beach front bar and order a Barefoot Barista. Your bartender will then put all ingredients in a shaker, add ice, shake and strain.   He/She will charmingly add a cocktail umbrella 

The Barefoot Barista can be enjoyed anywhere... even on the East River in New York 

Monkey Coconut Rum

Zane Lamprey is the owner of Monkey Rum, a premium rum beverage company with both spice and coconut rum products. Though currently only available in New York, Monkey Rum has announced plans to expand to CA and Florida in early 2015.

Zane Lamprey has spent countless hours making sure his rum has all the best ingredients. However, the most important of these is not something you can easily find or identify. That ingredient is Personality. Through his travels, Zane has come to realize that no matter how many times you distill, or how much effort you put into the process, if a drink doesn’t come with some personality, the purpose is lost. Monkey Rum is about adventure, experience, and having a good time. This rum is about letting that inner monkey out and embracing your wild side.

“Let Monkey Rum inspire your sense of adventure.” -Zane Lamprey

 311 (pronounced "three-eleven") is an American rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. The band was formed in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, lead guitarist Jim Watson (who would later be replaced by Tim Mahoney), bassist Aaron "P-Nut" Wills and drummer Chad Sexton. In 1992, Doug "SA" Martinez joined to sing and provide turntables for 311's later albums, rounding out the current line-up. The band's name originates from the police code for indecent exposure in Omaha, Nebraska, after the original guitarist for the band was arrested for streaking.

Whether you're on the East River, New York or in Maya Bay, Thailand we urge you to relax and drink responsibly.

We thought we'd try to help mother nature ring in spring so come... Sit, sip, drink in the sun... "we're snatching bits of time that no one else can seem to find." 

Cheers!

Henry & Jehiah
