Pina Coladas – How to Fix Tuesdays.

Here are your choices:

1. Go to Kelsey’s.

Now I hate Kelsey’s.  It is important you understand this.  The food is crap and is not well-priced for the quality.  Furthermore, chances are you are going to be sitting next to loud, annoying children who should’ve been marched out to the car 25 min ago.  But.  They make a great pina colada.

2. Make your own.

You will need: a blender, RUM, ice, puppies, pina colada mix, Tom Jones, and coconut milk

Attempt #1: Buy that mix stuff from your local grocery store and follow the recipe.  Results: sok, but not that great.  Tastes like you used a mix. <snob>

Attempt #2: Mix recipe + extra pineapple juice.  Results: more juice like.  Similar to when you make a smoothie with juice instead of soy milk.  Is not as sweet either.

Attempt #3: Mix recipe + extra coconut milk.  Oh. My.  I feel like Tom Jones is serenading me and only me while I play with happy, fluffy puppies a la Natalie.

I’m also thinking that this would be good with some sort of coconut gelato/sorbet in a sort of pina colada milkshake type of thing.  I’m also guessing that Malibu would also be good as I was using Appleton’s because I like darker rums.  Well, all rums, really.
