The weekend is here again! Though we can all agree it’s way too short, let’s grab some drinks and have some fun before we get a case of the Mondays. Keep your chin up – your vacation with AWOL Sun in Cabo San Lucas is right around the corner on October 10-13th. Time is running out to book your suite, so be sure to reserve your four-night experience today!
For this edition of AWOL Sun’s Happy Hour, we’ll be pairing a Spin Doctor who plays deep beats with a refreshing deep sea drink. So sit back. Relax. Take a sip of your beverage and press play – because sometimes, that’s really all you need.
Rony Seikaly – Sugar Free Radio: August 3, 2013
There is so much to respect about former NBA star turned producer/DJ Rony Seikaly. Now considered a “Spin Doctor” both on and off the court, Rony plays and creates a unique style of house music that has turned him into a sought after international talent. With a new show on SiriusXM’s Electric Area called Sugar Free Radio, this AWOL Sun artist has a rather impressive resumé.
For this particular episode of Sugar Free Radio, the Miami based artists lays down some deep grooves, often incorporating modulated synths that borrow notes from whatever key they so choose. We love the fatty bass that resonates throughout the mix. The soft, transient strings towards the end of the hour-long journey makes you feel like you’re drifting off into the ocean. If you’re looking for some deep house grooves with an Ibiza flare, definitely check this one out.

Deep Blue Sea Martini
Wanna get deep? This blue Martini is an excellent addition to any party. The Deep Blue Sea Martini is made of vodka, blue curacao, sour mix and pineapple juice. While any orange liqueur you have in stock will do, you will not obtain that blue hue unless you use the ever-essential blue curacao.
- 2 oz Blue Ice American Vodka
- 3/4 oz sweet and sour mix
- 1/2 blue curacao
- 1/2 oz pineapple juice
Pour the vodka, sour mix, blue curacao and pineapple juice into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Yield: 1 Cocktail
