Adding alcohol to fruit makes it healthier

Research to prove tiki drinks are good for us...as if any of us needed any encouragement! lol
Apparently, adding ethanol, which is found in rum and other liquors, boosts the antioxidant power of strawberries and blackberries, and it is thought it will do the same to any colored fruit. Raise a glass to our health!

here here to that.

GREAT...I love it. Free radicals don't stand a chance when you cleanse your body with a daily tiki drink!!! Top it off with some berry nice garnish and here's to your health. :drink:

Last line of the article:
"The study did not address whether adding a little cocktail umbrella enhanced the effects."

Well, I think we all know the answer to that.

Did it mention the effect of rum on Shasta Tiki Punch?

Nothing makes the Florida Sunshine hotter than it is than a glass of O.J. and a shot of 151 !!!!

We frequent a NYC style Italian restaurant that always gives us a plate of spectalcular fresh fruit doused with Galliano.
It's superb.

Now, I'll have to ask for doubles.
