This Week’s Topic: The Tommy Bahama Key Lime Martini and Grapefruit Basil Martini. The Martini is a classic and in the hands of Tommy Bahama, it gets an island twist starting with the Key Lime Martini which is a take on the much beloved Tommy Bahama Key Lime Pie. For those who like to drink their dessert, the Key Lime Martini is both sweet and tart as it blends Stoli Vanil with Keke Key Lime liqueur and fresh lime juice. Garnished with a graham cracker rim – it tastes just like the pie. The Grapefruit Basil Martini is crisp, bright and refreshing. Best of all, it requires only a few key ingredients that are easily accessible and can have you shaking them all up like a master mixologist in no time. Muddle simple syrup and one basil leaf in a shaker. Add ice, vodka and grapefruit juice then shake. Pour into a Martini glass, garnish with a basil leaf and voila! You’ve crafted the Tommy Bahama Grapefruit Basil Martini like a pro!

Item of the Week: Nothing says summer like the Tommy Bahama Beach Towel. Perfect for the pool, beach or lake, Tommy Bahama beach towels offer a bit of outdoor luxe. The plush 100% cotton terry cloth towels are soft and comfortable, and provide ample drying/lounging space measuring an over-sized 70”x 40”. The towels come in a range of bright and colorful prints; and some towels offer a contrasting cabana stripe on the reverse side to give you two towels in one!
