Tropical Island Dreaming

Oh Summertime,

How I Love Thee.

I'm a huge fan of pineapples and coconuts.
What better way to enjoy the two together
than mixed up into a Tropical Piña Colada?

It doesn't have to be an alcoholic beverage,
make it a Virgin Piña Colada.

Mix up a batch and pour yourself a tall glass,
then pretend you're on your favorite tropical island.

Close your eyes and feel the
gentle tropical breeze and be carried away
by the soothing sound of the ocean waves.

Life can be hectic at times.
It's o.k. to kick back and relax
and pretend once in a while.

Go ahead, you have my permission to dream.

Tropical Piña Colada

2 oz. light Rum (optional)

2 oz. Coconut Cream (not coconut milk) can be found in most liquor stores

4 oz. 100% Pineapple Juice

1 cup Ice

Pineapple wedge and Maraschino Cherry (to garnish) optional

Place ice, coconut cream, rum and pineapple juice in a blender.

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Serve in a tall glass and garnish.

Here's to Island dreaming!

That's it for this week.
Until Next Time,
Veronica
