Viewers who tuned into the Victoria’s Secret Swim special on TV last month may have recognized Puerto Rico’s El Conquistador Resort, where the “angels” shot their annual swimsuit catalogue on Palomino Island, the resort’s private offshore sanctuary.

While few of us will ever have the body of a supermodel, we can, however, drink like one, with this rum cocktail the hotel created in celebration of the beach-bound beauties. Whip one up at home this evening and raise a glass to the only secret Victoria was willing to share.

El Conquistador Resort’s Island Angel
