Island Inspired Cocktail Recipes

I have fond memories of our trip to Lana’i back in February.  Sipping cocktails by the pool was one of the most relaxing moments of our vacation.  This summer, whether you are Lanai-bound or just daydreaming about your recent island vacation, why not stir things up with island-inspired cocktails. From fruity to refreshing, Four Seasons Resorts Lanai offers up a collection of breezy and stylish, summer cocktails guaranteed to make a splash at your next fete.  Beverage Manager Jeremy Sidman, who is the mastermind behind the resort’s robust beverage program, recommends his top three favorites to transport you back to paradise…one sip at a time.
