One of our favorite bars to hang out at in New York City is Mother of Pearl located in the heart of the East Village in Manhattan. This tiki bar is a tropical oasis and a welcomed escape from the bustling city. This week, we asked our friends at Mother of Pearl to share one of their tropical cocktail creations: The Tide is High. This cocktail is layered with flavor, perfect for the warmer days ahead. Now if only we were sitting at the beach with one of these in hand right now....
