Summer has been B-U-S-Y, and apparently we are spending too much time away from home and not enough time trying out new drinks to share with you. When we are home, it seems we are so busy chasing Wasps (pronounced Wasp-ps-ps) that if we do get time to make a drink, we can't seem to find the time to blog about it.
So here it is, the Coconut Macaroon. Enjoy it, and drink three - one for you and one for each of us :)
1.5 ounces of UV Coconut
.5 ounce of Kahlua
chocolate milk
coke
UV says their "coconut has run ashore. Blown in from the tropics by a fresh breeze, it's the perfect accompaniment to lounging poolside with your crew." And summer is/was the perfect time to lounge by the pool, so we caught that coconut and paired it with some delectable chocolate milk to make this tantalizing paralyzer just for you. We prefer to mix our own chocolate milk (go with Nestle Nesquick) to customize the flavor to the drink. For this one, a little more chocolate is good; but be sure you do not overpower the coconut sensation.
To avoid the chocolate syrup from settling on the bottom of your cup, it is best to continually mix the paralyzer throughout the duration of your drink. Or after every couple sips. We; however, had other ideas on how to stir this one. IMAGINE...you are sitting in the backyard. You are lounging on a big comfy chair, drink in hand, feet up. The sun is setting and the mosquitos are almost non existent. Imagine the breeze is slight as it blows through your hair and kisses your cheeks. Imagine the peacefulness of it all. And then that darn little Wasp-ps-ps buzzes by your head and you jump up with a slight little scream and jump off the deck. Your drink sloshes, you attempt to take a sip while you dodge to the right because that little Wasp-ps-ps brought a friend. You duck and your drink does a belly flop and then you jump back onto the deck. You haven't lost any of your drink, because you truly are the paralyzer master, but you do have the urge to huck that entire glass at that little wasp-ps-ps. It is at this point that you realize you are better than that flying b-u-g, so you put on your big girl panties and you go inside the house to enjoy this paralyzer like it was meant to be enjoyed.
Cheers! To all those Wasp-ps-ps haters out there. This drink is for you!
