I have several versions of this tangy rum drink, the shade of the tropics. I like mine as a cocktail straight up, or blended to very cold and slushy in the blender. This is close to the one we often enjoy at the Tiki Bar at the Casey Key Fish House, on Casey Key in Southwest, Florida.

Bartender’s Blender  tips
Crushed ice works best.
Although, we like to use fresh fruit when available, frozen fruit blended in frozen drinks work better than fresh for keeping drinks frozen longer.
Timing counts, too little you find ice pieces, too long and the drink becomes watery.

Cheers!

After cocktails at sunset, the Casey Key Fish House has delicious fresh salmon, sword,mahi-mahi, grouper, snapper, bass and tuna,  cooked to order and caught in their deep water or flown in daily.

This is old Florida at it’s best.
