"Just sit down correct dorsum too you'll quest heed a tale
A tale of a fateful trip

For a iii hr tour, a iii hr tour ..."

Come on, immediately you lot know you lot started singing that vocal every bit shortly every bit you lot read the championship of this tasty tropical cocktail!  Ahhh, the iconic theme song from the old-but-goodie exhibit Gilligan's Island.

Though the exhibit was done filming earlier my hubby too I were fifty-fifty born, Gilligan's Island is withal ane of our absolute favorite shows from our childhood.  To this day, my hubby tin give the axe withal accurately (and inward detail) clit too quote scenes from the show.

"The conditions started getting rough, the tiny send was tossed.
If non for the courage of the fearless crew,
The Minnow would live lost, the Minnow would live lost.
The send laid the world on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligaaaan
The Skipper, too
A millionaire, too his wife
A moving painting star
The Professor too Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle!"

But whether or non the isle castaways genuinely enjoyed cranberries, peaches, too oranges alongside their coconuts - the combination of those iv things inward this cocktail is a darn tasty one.
