To unveil its delicacy, the chef recommends keeping it a little pink!
Epic Cocktails
You have to try a Shark Bite! This signature cocktail comes with a shark in it that holds a bloody treat. Ok, it is not blood it is grenadine but when you pour it out it looks pretty fun coming out of the shark's mouth into your cocktail.
Plus the Shark Bite tastes like adult Kool-Aid. It is one of those beach cocktails you will happily order a 2nd one of.
They also have an amazing Bushwacker and so many more tropical cocktails!!! If you are looking for a frosty cool beverage they have you covered.
