Summer Sipper - Mom's Tropical Vacation

My favorite part of vacation is the food. I always feel like it is the perfect time to go a little overboard and order desserts, appetizers and fancy beverages. Ben and I have been known to plan our vacations around the restaurants where we want to eat. Last time we went to Disneyland with our friends Sam and Anya, Anya asked, "Where are we eating?"

Unfortunately, with the demands of jobs and families, we can't always be on vacation. As most parents know, even when you are on vacation, you aren't completely on vacation because you have your kids with you.

Today's summer sipper is in honor of the vacation that you can't always take. The times when you think "I kinda just want to go to a hotel, pretend like I'm on vacation, sleep all night long without someone yelling, 'Mom/Dad?! You sleep with me?', and eat lots of delicious food." This beverage is icy, sweet and tropical. It is enough to make you temporarily forget about the sink full of dishes, the lawn turning into a jungle and children fighting over the Little People school bus.



Note: This recipe calls for coconut cream.  Not coconut milk, not cococnut water. This is what is looks like. It is usually in the mixer section by the alcohol.
