What's your favorite Tropical drink?

You know, the drink that just isn't complete without that little UMBRELLA in there?

When I was younger, I used to drink a lot of rum drinks, which lend themselves very well to little umbrellas. But for the last, oh, maybe 25 years, I have only drank wine, so I have to say mine is homemade Sangria, with a little brandy mixed in, and tropical fruit like pineapple, starfruit, and kiwi in place of the usual apples, peaches and oranges

Hmmm. That is an EASY one Bihai.

My fave drink of all time is a margarita (not very original lol) but tequila agrees with me :P
Another one I tried lately was I mixed some of Hawaii's Own brand frozen (Starfuit kind) concentrate add ice and captain morgan rum(they have a mango, pineapple and coconut flavors) to taste. I put in mango and coconut. Blend....You can add a little margarita mix, lime juice or water if it is too sweet.

One of the MANY jobs I used to have in order to pay for school was bartending. I used to make a killer daiquiri... and fortunately nobody complained about the missing umbrella. Those be fightin' words!

pineapple juice, 'cept I'm getting Carpel-Tunnel from squeezing all the fruits by hand. Oh, with a little umbrella stuck in the glass too!

I was searching for a good mai tai recipe and found this link. I can see I have a lot of experimenting to do lol.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tropical drinks

NON alcoholic drink; there's a blended ice shake I would make in summer. I added well ice =), condensed milk, canned longans, and canned jackfruit, then blend.

I never really tried it much with alcohol. But did experimented with using Hennessy before in them, for some reason it seemed to impart a kind of pineapple smell & tastes. Its the oddest thing.

When I'm out on a hot day, working in the yard--I absolutely love a big mug of Goya's Guarana over ice.

I've become addicted to it. Of course, I read somewhere that it has WAY more caffeine than coffee.

Hey Everyone,

Try Passion fruit juice, it's good...or even papaya shakes, my mom made those for us growing up in Islands. I now use the stuff in the can since I live in an icebox (Canada) but they are good too.

I made up a drink called coco ice. I take Coco Lopez and dilute with water 1/2 and 1/2, freeze it, and then blend it with a little milk in the blender, its YUMMY!

One of my other fave drinks is a Tamarindo slushy. I use Tamcon pulp, from the Indian market, sweeten it with Equal, dilute with a little water to make a slurry, then add a little milk and ice in the blender. YUMMMMMM
