Barrio in West Palm Beach will toast the rummy day with a crew-pleasing Rum Punch ($13). Sporting spiced rum, fresh juices, and a dark rum topper, it's a tropical vacation in a glass. Partake in Happy Hour daily from 4-7 p.m., and take $2 off all drinks.

Barrio's sister restaurant, City Cellar will serve up the Hemingway Old Fashioned ($14.50), a sophisticated scoundrel laden with Papa's Pilar Sherry Barrel Aged Rum, orange bitters, filthy cherry, and an orange peel. Ahoy! Enjoy Happy Hour daily at City Cellar's inside bar from 4-7 p.m., featuring $2 off drinks as well as half-priced appetizers and hearth-baked pizza.
