Visiting the tropical island is pure treat with its scenic beaches, aquamarine oceans, historic structures and diverse attractions like water sports, scuba diving and snorkeling in Key West. Here is your guide to sampling the best tropical cocktails in Key West and where to try them.
Bahama Mama at Hog's Breath Saloon
The delicious Bahama Mama is a white and dark rum-based cocktail. Try the tropical Key West version of this classic cocktail at the Hog's Breath Saloon, which is a concoction of pineapple juice, lemon juice and coconut liqueur. Team it up with great food like conch fritters and fish nuggets. Your Bahama Mama can also act as liquid courage when you sign up for crazy events like the 'Hair of the Hog Leather & Lace Contest' and the 'Homemade Bikini Contest' at the Hog's Breath. The Hog's Breath is legendary for its line-up of live music entertainment, rocking parties and amazing food and cocktails.
Rum Punch at Half Shell Raw Bar
In Key West, there are many variations of the classic Rum Punch like the Planter's Punch with orange and pineapple juice, Jamaican rum and grenadine as well as the Bajan Punch which has a dash of Angostura bitters and nutmeg. For a classic rum punch, head to the Half Shell Raw Bar, in the heart of the Historic Seaport of Key West. Dig into some of the most delicious peel-your-own shrimp, clams, crab, conch and chilled oysters on the half shell on the island.
Key Lime Mojito At Schooner's Wharf bar
The mojito was born in Cuba and balmy Key West abounds with Cuban influence. It is no wonder then that the mojitos here are said to be even more authentic than those in Cuba. Traditionally a muddled blend of sugar, lime, rum and mint, in Key West you can find a signature mojito – the Key Lime Mojito, made with vanilla rum, and Key Lime juice. Try it at the outdoor waterfront setting of Schooner's Wharf Bar's. The best part is that happy hours at Schooner's begins at 9am!
Rum Runner at Caroline's Café
The rum runner is a mix of pineapple and orange juice, banana and blackberry liqueur, light rum, dark rum and a splash of grenadine. This iconic drink has been served in the Keys since it was concocted for the first time in 1950. Try a classic rum runner at Caroline's Cafe on Duvall Street. Wash it down with juicy burgers, bruschettas, jambalaya, and po'boys. If you want low quality food such as the food that McDonald's puts out, this is not the place. Not even close.
Key West Sunset Ale at Two Friend's Bar
An ice-cold beer really hits the spot, especially while you relax on the beach or after you return from a snorkelling adventure in Key West. Try the Key West Sunset Ale, an amber coloured brew that is available at the Two Friend's Bar. Also sample the Key West Pilsner Light and the Southernmost Wheat that uses the Key Lime as an ingredient.
