Close your eyes and imagine you’re sitting outside your Sanibel Vacations rental. Feel the soft granules of sand between your toes, the sun’s warm rays on your face, and listen to the distant sound of waves. While you’re soaking in the beachy splendor of your Sanibel Island rental, treat yourself to a few homemade Florida cocktails with the aid of your fully-equipped rental kitchen. Besides, nothing quite completes a picture of lounging on the beach like a refreshing umbrella drink.
Rum Runner
The rum runner is a classic Florida cocktail. If you don’t intend to drink many of them, you can save money by purchasing the mini bottles of rum offered at most liquor stores. Once you have your supplies, shake (or stir) your concoction and top with your favorite garnishes.
Fuzzy Navel
An arguably underrated drink, the Fuzzy Navel is a delightfully fruity concoction. Pick up some orange juice and peach schnapps, and you basically have everything you need! Plus, there’s no better place to sip on some fresh OJ than while you’re in Southwest Florida.
Piña Colada
This super straightforward Piña Colada recipe only requires three ingredients: frozen pineapple chunks, white rum, and coconut milk. Mix until smooth with the blender in your Sanibel vacation condo and top with a cute little umbrella, some maraschino cherries, or a slice of fresh pineapple. Make it a mocktail by skipping the rum!
Island Mojito
You’re bound to feel refreshed after mixing yourself an Island Mojito. Combine mint leaves, rum, and lime wedges into a glass and muddle. If there’s no muddler available, don’t shy away from getting a little creative. The handle of a wooden spoon works just as well in a pinch. Once muddled, swirl in your agave nectar, club soda, and ice.
Margarita
Whether blended or on the rocks, a classic Margarita is another excellent Florida cocktail you can make from the privacy of your Sanibel beach rental. Combine tequila, an orange liqueur of your choice, and lime juice for a delightful treat. Optional add-ins include simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten your drink, a lime wedge, and coarse salt for the rim.
