For backyard barbecues with friends, serve Captain Morgan’s Pirate Paradise to transport your get together to an island in the tropics. If you’re looking to add a little kick to your fruity beverage, try Put the Thai in the Coconut with Captain Morgan Coconut Rum and jalapeño peppers to turn up the heat.
