Nothing says tropical vacation to me

Like my favorite drink!

Enter…

The Lava Flow!

Sadly funds have been low…

Thanks to the economy.

Thanks to Congress, The White House, The Fed…Thanks again guys!

But that’s a whole other post.

I have to make myself believe that my house is a tropical island getaway.

Can you feel the trade winds?

Well if you drink enough of these bad boys I assure you…

YOU WILL!

Best thing about Lava Flows?

They’re filled with yummy fruity goodness!

So just leave out the rum and serve em up to the munchkins!

Just put their share into yours and you’ll be hula dancing in no time!

Make a big blender full!

Note – I’m making the full throttle version here…leave out the rum for the kiddos!

WHAT YOU NEED:

2 cups strawberries

4 oz light rum

4 oz coconut rum (Malibu is my fave)

3 bananas

1/2 cup pineapple chunks

1 cup pineapple juice

1 cup cream of coconut (NOT coconut milk!  It’s not thick enough.)

Crushed ice cubes

WHAT TO DO:

In the blender combine the rum and strawberries.  Blend until smooth.  Pour into the bottom of four glasses.

Rinse the blender and then add remaining ingredients.  Blend until smooth.  Pour the mixture over the strawberry mixture SLOWLY and watch the lava rise up the glass!

Aloha!
