At Palm and Paddle Grille, we bring the tropics to you with our curated selection of Caribbean-inspired cocktails. Each sip transports you to a sun-soaked paradise, no passport required.

Here’s a closer look at our must-try drinks this season:
Club Mango: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic
The classic daiquiri, originally created in Cuba, gets a tropical makeover with our Club Mango. This vibrant cocktail features house-made mango purée, perfectly blending sweet and tangy flavors with a tropical flair. It’s a sunny reminder of summer days, even in the dead of winter.
The mango purée provides a luscious base that pairs seamlessly with rum, lime juice, and a hint of sweetness. Whether you're a seasoned daiquiri enthusiast or new to the cocktail scene, Club Mango is a crowd-pleaser that embodies the spirit of the Caribbean in every sip. Pair it with light appetizers to enhance the experience.
P&P Punch: Beach Party in a Glass
If you’re longing for the carefree vibes of a beach bash, the P&P Punch is your go-to drink. This signature cocktail is a medley of spiced rum, papaya, pineapple, and lime juices. The result? A perfectly balanced blend of sweet, tangy, and spiced flavors that transport you straight to a tropical island.
Every sip is like a mini vacation, reminding you of swaying palm trees and the sound of waves lapping against the shore. The P&P Punch pairs beautifully with grilled dishes, such as our jerk chicken or coconut shrimp. It’s a drink that embodies the relaxed, vibrant energy of the islands, making it the perfect choice for unwinding after a long day.
Dragon Fruit Bliss: The Sunset in Your Glass
For a visually stunning cocktail that tastes as good as it looks, the Dragon Fruit Bliss is a must-try. The tantalizing red dragon fruit purée gives this drink its signature Caribbean pink hue, evoking the beauty of a tropical sunset. Combined with vodka, banana liqueur, and a blend of pineapple and orange juices, this cocktail is mildly sweet with a hint of exotic flavor.
Dragon Fruit Bliss is perfect for those who appreciate a balanced cocktail that’s not overly sugary. It’s the kind of drink that turns heads, whether you’re sharing it on social media or sipping it at a cozy table with friends. Pair it with our island-inspired desserts for a truly indulgent experience.
Coconut Martini: A Tropical Cloud in a Glass
Sophisticated and tropical, the Coconut Martini is a drink that exudes elegance. Crafted with gin, coconut purée, a hint of lemon, and our house-made Caribbean falernum syrup, it’s like drinking a velvety coconut cloud. The subtle spices from the falernum add depth, while the citrus provides a bright finish.
This cocktail is perfect for those who want to experience a tropical twist on the classic martini. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself, the Coconut Martini pairs wonderfully with savory dishes.
