Lime In D' Coconut Drink Recipe

We interrupt your Wednesday for a special update from the tropics. As our hometown of Chicago slowly inches closer to those cold winter temperatures, we're still in St. John trying to soak up as much sun as possible. But this is, after all, a "working vacation" as we do plenty of "research" into tropical sweets. So instead of the usual dessert recipe, today, we're venturing into the sweet drink category as we share our favorite tropical drink thus far. This drink is full of coconut and lime... a refreshing blended drink with the ingredients and cool to take the edge off of the heat. So if it's cold where you're at, and you simply wanna reminisce of warmer times as you crank up your heat, or if it's hot and you need something to cool you off, you won't be disappointed with this Lime in D' Coconut Drink. Pool optional. [ Location: St. John, USVI ]
