Not too sweet... just the way I like it.
Usually I would never order a pina colada, even though I love fruit and coconut.
Usually they are just too sweet. Not this one... it's just right.
I used canned light coconut milk (from Trader Joe's- best value anywhere at 99 cents) which cuts much of the extra sugar that is added to those icky mixers.
It's the first nice day n the Pacific Northwest over 50 degrees.
Almost Summer weather for us... hahaha.
I needed some FUN to kick off our weekend.
Not sure why I was dreaming up martinis on the drive home.
Tough week, you say? Maybe.
Still, a good week and an even better one to come.
Heading to Germany on Sunday for a business trip. I promise to do lots of food and beverage research in addition to my real job.
Hope you like this one, I think it's a keeper.
