So I’m not a huge drinker, and I definitely prefer sweet things over tasting too much alcohol (cue the Shirley Temple here). Which is why I was so excited when my friend introduced me to the most delicious, tropical drink that I like to call The Island Paradise. One sip is all it takes to put you under a cabana with the ocean waves crashing in the background. And even though I’m drinking it with my feet splashing in a baby pool in my backyard, it’s just enough to take you away for a little while.
The Recipe:
I don’t use a recipe to a T, but if I can make it delicious by eye-balling it, so can you!
First, get a cup with iced (preferably the delicious crushed kind). Then add a shot or two of a Coconut Rum of your choice. We love this one by Don Q. They also have some great recipes on their site. Then add 2 parts Pineapple Juice and 1 part Coconut Milk. Throw in a straw and an umbrella and ta-da! You’re on the way to your Island Paradise. Cheers!
