Toasting Tuesdays: Caribbean Cocktails from Negril Village, Atlanta

Happy #ToastingTuesdays

It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time to take a few minutes out of our busy lives and just celebrate the good, celebrate our wins (however big or small), and Celebrate the Cocktail of Life!

This #ToastingTuesday we’re toasting the wonderful Caribbean cocktails of Negril Village in Atlanta as well as two other special wins.  Keep reading to find out more.

So, let’s start the Toasting!

What I’m Toasting This Week:

This week I’m excited to toast my kids’ clean play room.  

This has been a 3 week process in the making! I literally took everything apart then sorted and organized everything.   Stay tuned for my upcoming post on how I tamed the toy clutter.

Here’s a sneak peak that you may have seen on Instagram.  We were very excited to once again see our floor.

(BTW-Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram for extra content and exciting IG story video.)

I’m also toasting big birthday celebrations with friends.

This past weekend I attended a good friend’s birthday party at Negril Village, a caribbean restaurant in mid-town Atlanta.

Located in a refurbished 1907 firehouse, Negril Village is a fun place to enjoy wonderful Caribbean cuisine or just sit back with some cocktails and people-watch.

And people-watch we did.  We spotted Kenya Moore from Real Housewives of Atlanta.  I couldn’t resist going over and saying hello.  I told her how fabulous she was and that she looked even better in person.  Which is true–I know she often gets a bad rap on the show, but I like to think she’s just misunderstood, and she does have a painful past.  By the way, she seriously did look amazing in person.  I didn’t ask for a selfie because I didn’t want to be cheezy– I do have a teeny bit of sophistication (yeah right, haha).

During the party, we tried the shrimp and grits (absolutely delicious), jerk chicken (which was incredibly spicy),  an amazing cabbage dish (which I was super excited about), and a great bean rice dish. My husband also tried the ox tail, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Caribbean Cocktails at Negril Village

My favorite part was the cocktails.  I tried the Hibiscus Margarita and House Punch.   I’d highly recommend both.  They were equally wonderful.

The Hibiscus Margarita has El Jimador tequila, spiced sorrel, lime & a cinnamon salt spiced rim.  It’s light and refreshing.  And the cinnamon salt rim was a wonderful addition–it really added another level of flavor to the drink.

The Village Island Punch was fantastic.  I have no idea what was in it. It’s a secret family recipe!  But I can tell you that it’s made with fresh squeezed tropical juice and Wray and Nephew rum.  Very simple, light, with a nice kick.  No thick sugar based artificial flavors–just pure simple ingredients.  Perfect!

Let’s Toast You!

So what are YOU toasting this week?  Leave a comment below with whatever you’re proud of this week.

Until next time, Cheers to the Cocktail of Life!
