This year, the hottest gifts are decidedly practical, yet far from dull.

(page 2 of 3)

TOMMY BAHAMA ULTRA PREMIUM RUM - TASTE PARADISE:

Made on the island of Barbados with coral-filtered water and the finest blackstrap molasses, Tommy Bahama Ultra Premium Rums are aged in American oak barrels and blended by a master distiller. Tommy Bahama White Sand is a light-bodied rum, aged a minimum of two years. Tommy Bahama Golden Sun is a full-bodied dark rum, aged for three years.

GIFT IDEA

This holiday season spread the warmth of the islands with Tommy Bahama Ultra Premium Rum. Look for Tommy Bahama White Sand and Tommy Bahama Golden Sun at your favorite liquor store, now available in easy-to-gift holiday tin containers.

COCKTAIL RECIPE

Throwing a party? Get the festivities started by mixing up a few Tommy Bahama Merry Mojitos…

Tommy Bahama Merry Mojito
2 parts Tommy Bahama White Sand Rum
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
The juice of 1 lime
1 bunch of fresh mint
Dash of sparkling soda
Crushed ice
Peppermint stick

Muddle ingredients in a shaker. Add ice and Tommy Bahama White Sand Rum. Shake well and pour into a chilled glass. Add sparkling soda. Garnish with a peppermint stick and a sprig of fresh mint.

PAMA® POMEGRANATE LIQUEUR

With its rich, ruby color and the complex, sweet-yet-tart taste of its all-natural pomegranates, PAMA® Pomegranate Liqueur is ultimately mixable and completely unique. In addition to all-natural pomegranate juice, PAMA is made with premium vodka and a touch of imported tequila. Perfect cocktails begin with PAMA, from a simple PAMA & club soda to a perfect PAMA martini. Creative bartenders have discovered PAMA, and now you can, too. You’ll soon find that PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur is Pomegranate Perfected. ®

GIFT IDEA

What could be more appropriate for the holidays than the rich red of the PAMA holiday gift box? Packed inside is a 750 ml bottle of PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur and a beautiful champagne flute.

Champagne is one of the most popular drinks during the holidays. You can serve your guests a distinctive twist on the traditional champagne toast by adding a touch of PAMA for bright color and tempting taste.

COCKTAIL RECIPE
