This drink is magical! It can transport you to a place that is very tropical if you just let it. Maybe Mexico or even possibly some tropical island on a white sand beach. The weather in Seattle has been average at best, which is very hard for a southern person. Also, I am in need of something to pull me out of my recent red wine binge. This tropical concoction will make you so happy you might even decide to take a tropical vacation to get the real thing out of a pineapple or coconut! This cocktail takes you away… wherever you want to go; at least for an hour or two!
