Rum Journal: Aruba’s Bugaloe Beach Bar & Grill

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - September 12, 2013

Aruba. The Beach. Rum.

We like all of these things, and the Bugaloe Beach Bar & Grill on the island’s Palm Beach is the perfect place to find the confluence of all of them.

The property, located on a small jetty near the sand, is one of the island’s best music destinations — from salsa to karaoke.

It’s is also open starting at 9AM, meaning the bar is really an all-day beach destination.

The bar has been kind enough to share its recipe for the Bugaloe Frozen Special with us, the bar’s most popular drink, to bring a little taste of Aruba to you, wherever you may be.

Bugaloe Frozen Special

1oz Rum (brand is up to you)
1oz Peach Schnapps
2oz Peach Mix
1oz Champagne
Sangria

Cheers!
