Cocktail Recipes Necker Island - Business Insider

One of the best parts about spending time on Necker Island is the service.

The staff of about 70 brings the experience of staying on the island from simply spending time in a naturally beautiful location to having a top-notch luxury experience.

From the moment we were greeted at the airport in Tortola, we never found ourselves lacking for anything we might need. From towels to sunscreen to food and, of course, beverages.

We were invited to Necker by Virgin Limited Edition, which manages rentals of the island and the rest of Branson's luxury retreats. You'll be able to find all our posts about the trip here.

While Branson himself is not much of a drinker, generally opting for a cranberry and soda or the occasional glass of Necker Island Champagne, the staff is always there to serve up any type of refreshing cocktails guest might desire.

Everything from the classic martini or margarita to some more unique local drinks are available ? all consumed of course, while sitting poolside or in some other breathtakingly-beautiful location.

Guest services coordinator Kezzia Gray showed us some of the island's signature cocktails, using local ingredients, that have quickly become guest favorites.

Here is how you make a Passionfruit Martini:

Disclosure: We were flown out to Necker Island, BVI by Virgin Limited Edition, which covered our travel and lodging expenses.
