Imagine yourself lounging under a cabana, the sound of the waves crashing on the beach, a buff tan gentleman (or sexy coconut shelled woman if you're into that) walking up to you with a tray of tropical cocktails.... that's the effect Ann & Jason were hoping their Sexy Monkey and Mai Tai concoctions would have on you when you closed your eyes and sipped the fruity deliciousness!
And, if tropical cocktails are not your thing, there's always Kona beer brewed in the tropical paradise that is Hawaii!
