If you were engaged over the holidays, congratulations! If you’ve always wanted to have a destination wedding in a tropical locale, Puerto Rico is a great choice. What better way to announce to your family and friends that you’re getting married, and you’ve chosen to do so on our lovely island, than inviting them over for a themed party, complete with Puerto Rican appetizers and drinks? Puerto Rico is famous for its delicious rum, so you’ll want to serve beverages that highlight that taste of the tropics. Daiquiris and piña coladas offer your guests a sweet delight, but why not add a little citrus to the mix with this tasty mojito recipe?
This recipe from Bobby Flay calls for just a few ingredients, but is sure to have your guests cheering to your engagement – and your island nuptials! Be sure to choose authentic Puerto Rican rum, and enjoy!

My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Maria’s. We rented the property for three days/nights. We wanted to make our destination wedding as accessible as possible for our family and friends. Maria’s was the perfect place. Twelve of our closest friends and family shared the house. I was so impressed that Maria’s had everything we needed, even little things like laundry detergent.
