Many of the world's most iconic tropical cocktails were mixed for the first time during the early 20th century in the Caribbean. Using flavors of coconut, pineapple, citrus and, more often than not, rum, these libations were designed for beachside sipping. If you want to try them at their source, here's where to go. The Painkiller | Soggy Dollar Bar. Jost Van Dyke, BVI. Enjoyed throughout the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, the creamy, dreamy Painkiller originated at this quintessential beach bar. The Soggy Dollar was voted the best in the Caribbean and named for the condition of sailors' currency after wading in from their yachts. Invented in the 1970s, this iconic cocktail not only eases pain, it induces imbibers into a sweet island lull with its blend of dark rum, pineapple and orange juices, cream of coconut and a grate of nutmeg.

A rum concoction that does pretty much what its name promises, most Goombay Smash recipes call for four types of rum – coconut, light, gold and dark – with pineapple and orange juices. The original recipe, kept under tightly locked lips, was created in the 1970s by teetotaling Miss Emily, whose daughter Violet survives her at this out island outpost, which a ferry ride away from Great Abaco. Like many of Abaco's out island bars, it attracts the yachtie crowd that likes to leave T-shirts and other apparel hanging from the walls and ceilings. Dark 'n' Stormy | Harry's. Bermuda. Iconic island drinks often have a sailing tale in their genes, and the Dark 'n' Stormy is no exception. Said to have been created by a sailor who likened its light-and-black layering to storm clouds at sea, it requires Bermuda's own Gosling's Black Seal Rum and the island's spicy ginger beer. Add a splash of lime, and you're ready to weather the drink, now popular with mariners around the world. Harry's, a waterfront institution, is one of the most popular spots to rub elbows with sailors come ashore for their ration of post-sailing rum. Piña Colada | Caribe Hilton. San Juan, Puerto Rico. Arguably one of the Caribbean's most iconic cocktails, the piña colada is also one of the earliest invented in the islands. In 1954, Caribe Hilton bartender Ramon "Monchito" Marrero blended together coconut cream and heavy cream with pineapple juice and white rum for a cocktail that has endured across generations. Marrero personally served his creation for 35 years as a hotel bartender. In 1978, it was declared the official cocktail of Puerto Rico, and in 2004, Governor Sila Maria Calderon signed a proclamation supporting the 50th anniversary of the piña colada. Killer Bee | Sunshine's Bar & Grill. Nevis. Sunshine's, home of the Killer Bee — Photo courtesy of Chelle Koster Walton. Imbibing on Nevis often involves getting stung by a secret-recipe rum concoction known as the Killer Bee. It can be found at a beach shack on Pinney's Beach, named for its locally famous owner who invented the fruity libation. The grilled chicken, ribs, lobster and fish here are nearly as legendary as the drinks. Wise beach-goers order a helping before they've imbibed more than one Killer Bee, an intoxicating blend of rum, sweet-tart passion fruit juice, orange juice, honey, club soda, nutmeg and black pepper. Have a look around the walls, and you'll find you're in good company at Sunshine's – past guests have included Oprah, Beyoncé and Kevin Bacon. Nipper Juice | Nipper's Beach Bar & Grill. Abaco, Bahamas. Gorgeous beach and frozen drinks at Nipper's — Photo courtesy of Chelle Koster Walton. Now famous for its Sunday wild boar roast buffet that brings in up to 1,000 revelers, Nipper's has long been quenching salty thirsts and feeding beach-bum appetites on Great Guana Cay. A spot of cranberry juice adds color and differentiation to the OJ, pineapple juice and rum equation in the frozen Nipper Juice. Hot Chelle Rae's 'Do The Damn Thing' Music Video Is Finally Here (Exclusive Premiere!) Hot Chelle Rae ‘s brand new single “Do the Damn Thing” has been one of this Spring’s hottest songs so far and now, Just Jared has the exclusive music video premiere right here.

No matter who’s house it is or how many people roll up… we have fun, laugh, smoke and drink and just feel good being around good vibes.” And the colorful vibe of the video was all shot on an iPhone! “We shot this entire video on my iPhone, which was honestly, almost an experiment. SUPER hyped on how everything came out, and we had an amazing editor add in some fun animation and make it all come together!,” Nash added. How the Grammys Descended Into Behind-the-Scenes Chaos. W hile the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards featured many upbeat performances in January, a dark cloud hung over the proceedings. Over the past few months, the Recording Academy has been locked in a vicious battle against its former president and CEO Deborah Dugan, who had led the organization for not quite half a year before being placed on administrative leave on Jan. 16. Between that point and the ceremony, accusations of harassment, corruption and conflict of interest whizzed back and forth, with the rancor seemingly only escalating by the day. On Jan. 21, Dugan filed a 44-page complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, accusing the Academy of retaliation and voting irregularities; in a public statement, the Academy accused Dugan of being “abusive and bullying.” On March 2, the Recording Academy officially fired Dugan, writing in a statement that she “failed to perform her job duties as promised and expected.” While the dispute centers on one woman, its implications go far beyond her, shedding light on the Grammys’ gender imbalance and the larger music industry’s issues of inequality and reported backdoor dealing. In a January interview on Good Morning America , Dugan claimed that the Grammy awards are often rigged by board members: “There are incidents of conflict of interest that taint the results,” she said—sparking a denial from the Academy. Whether or not her accusations are true, the controversy is a huge blow for the Grammys, an organization desperately trying to shake off its stodgy reputation and turn the corner on a troubled era in which high-profile artists like Drake and Frank Ocean have renounced them. Here’s what you need to know about how the Recording Academy arrived at this tenuous position, and what’s at stake. In 2018, a Firestorm Erupts Over Representation. Four days before the 60th Annual Grammys, a study on the music industry was released by the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, which found that just 9 percent of the 899 people nominated over the previous six Grammy Awards were women. In addition, barely any female producers or songwriters were credited on the country’s top-charting songs. “When it comes to women’s ability to contribute and to lead, they’re being shut out of the process,” Stacy Smith, the professor who led the study, told the New York Times in 2018. At the awards show four days later, only one woman, Alessia Cara, won a solo Grammy on air. In a backstage interview at the show, Recording Academy president Neil Portnow told reporters that women “who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level” need to “step up.” While Portnow later said he regretted the unfortunate turn of phrase, which put the onus on women rather than the institutional obstacles that held them back, the damage was done. His comments were met with a fierce backlash across the music industry, with #GrammysSoMale exploding as a trending topic on Twitter; many prominent female artists called him out on social media and demanded his resignation. Dugan Attempts to Turn the Page. Portnow stepped down in July 2019 at the end of his contract. To replace him, the Academy tapped Deborah Dugan, an executive who previously served as the CEO of Red, a nonprofit founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver with a mission to eradicate AIDS. Dugan pledged to fight inequality in the organization by enacting wide-sweeping changes. “All the issues that Neil has addressed have led us to a larger conversation, and that is a conversation, of course, that we need to have about women and diversity in music,” Dugan told the Los Angeles Times in May 2019. Dugan’s goals were buoyed by the Recording Academy’s first Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion, which was hastily assembled in the wake of the Annenberg 2018 report.
