Thirsty Thursday....Drink Recipe # 9 Playoff Punch

This recipe is for a Playoff Punch that was originally created to celebrate the New York Yankees successful bid to make it into the 2009 playoffs.  Now I saw this is for all of us Football Mom's and Dad's who's kids teams made it to the playoff's.  Its time for us to celebrate too!!!!

It brings together two of Tommy Bahama's rums, a white and a gold, mixes it with a few tropical juices. The Playoff Punch is very similar to the newer, pineapple version of the Mai Tai. For baseball fans this drink can bring the tropics into the post season to cool things down when the games start heating up.
