Drinknation's snuggly staff (that's us) return to you this week fresh from vacation in the tropical hinterlands of the South Pacific. It's possible that we actually just built a fort out of cushions from the office furniture and hid there for awhile, but if we did, we certainly wouldn't tell you that. Especially since we borrowed some of your couch cushions for parapets. While we were sailing the high seas, which were much, much higher than a wading pool on the office lawn, we were inspired to do a tropical-themed recipe for this week's drink. Even the fearsome advances of Larry, the marauding after-hours janitor pirate who attacked our resort with a vacuum insisting that he "had to clean the carpets or I'll lose my job", couldn't dim our enthusiasm for the sun and warmth of our island getaway.

So here's your drink recipe. You can pretend you're with us in the tropics, relaxing on the beach and swimming with the dolphins. You'll get your cushions back when we're done with them.
