In honor of this week's kick-off to sailing season at the Quantum Key West Regatta, make like a sailor by drinking like one. Now in its 25th year, the regatta has attracted sea dogs from throughout the U.S., enticing them to make the trip to Key West exclusively for the occasion. But since you’re at a computer somewhere in Tampa Bay instead of cruising in style on a sailboat at Quantum Key West, whip up a regatta-inspired cocktail and pretend that's a sea breeze whipping through your hair.
