Sublime sunset drinks aren’t hard to come by in a place like the Cayman Islands.
From delicious ceviche to Aperol Spritzes to $5 beer, all chased down with mouthwatering appetizers, a myriad of enticing menus makes a solid case to lull you from your spot on the beach after a long day in the hot sun. But what can you do as the sun sets in Grand Cayman?
Here are six happy hours we can all toast to as the sun goes down!
