Overview:
Run wedge of lime around rim of glass and rim half way round with natural brown sugar grains
Muddle roughly 2 inch square fresh pineapple (slightly bruise it to aerate and get the juices out)

Juice from half of a fresh lime
1 oz simple syrup (sugar + water, can try substituting agave nectar)
Shake with ice (around 20 shakes)
Strain and serve!

Hagar hosted the second Sammy's Beach Bar Rum Bash in Las Vegas, NV on August 25th at Club Vinyl. He released the following on the night:
“Wow, what a great party in Vegas last night! Here it is 10 AM and I'm still lying in bed this morning - I almost bit off more than I could chew flying in from Orlando, filming two TV shows and partying with 250 Redheads. Luckily we had the rum to wash it down!What I love about the beach rum parties we've been throwing is that I get a chance to mingle with the fans - lots of hugs and photos all around - it's kind of like a long, big meet and greet! It's different from when I play a concert and I can't spend time doing toasts and shots and getting our buzz on together. We're learning with you as we go how to throw these parties and I like it and want to do more! Unfortunately, we found out last minute that Nevada state law wouldn't let me mix and the serve the drinks so I had to oversee the bartenders making my custom rum concoctions. I wish they would have let us sell more tickets, but this was the first event at this brand new venue and they didn't know what capacity was. All in all, I am having a blast with you and it's a learning process how to throw these parties!
PS: My favorite part of the night was seeing Mona play that upright bass that was bigger than her. It was a real Hawaiian twist on the Wabos as we tore through ‘Fight For Your Right’, ‘Red Voodoo’, and ‘Cabowaboville’ (hearing everyone sing along to that was a blast!).”

According to Roseville-ca.patch.com, September 15th will go down in Roseville’s history as Sammy Hagar Day. The date also marks the opening of his restaurant and entertainment venue, Sammy’s Rockin’ Island Bar & Grill, in Downtown Roseville.
City leaders also plan to make a presentation and give a gift to Hagar during the event. Hagar will perform live at the restaurant during an “invitation-only” event set for September 15th.
