Named after the very first hotel to grace the shores of Palm Beach, Aruba, the Basi Ruti cocktail pays homage to the origins of hospitality on the island. Owned and operated by the visionary Neme family, Basi Ruti was more than just a hotel. It was the spark that ignited the development of what would become one of Aruba’s most iconic destinations.

​

This cocktail captures the spirit of that bold beginning: warm, welcoming, and full of island soul. It’s a tribute to the family’s pioneering legacy and the foundation they laid for generations of hospitality to come. With every sip, the Basi Ruti invites you to return to a simpler, golden time, when Palm Beach was just beginning to tell its story.
