That Time We Went to Hawaii Plus An Easy Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream Recipe

With Summer right around the corner,  I thought it was a great opportunity to share one of my favorite recipes again with everyone!

A few months ago The Mr. and I received an incredible opportunity to take a quick jaunt over to Maui. We had to keep this all on the DL for a while but I've recently received the all-clear to share!

We experienced some of the most breathtaking sites as you can see in the photos below and enjoyed amazing meals such as Kalua Pork, Garlic Nori Fries and of course, Shave Ice.

It ain't a trip to Hawaii unless you get authentic Shave Ice! Half Pineapple, Half Tiger's Blood for me!
Clearly the sugar made us silly! 

Pineapple Margarita Recipe

The weather is warming up, the sun is setting later, and to me, that’s all I need as an excuse for a fresh margarita! As good as the whole lime standard is, I love seeing all the new spins people are putting on margs like Smokey Chipotle or Mandarin Mango! I decided to take a stab at the whole mixology thing and put together a cocktail that will become your summer staple from Cinco de Mayo to Labor Day!

Ingredients:

1 part Revel Blanco (Or your favorite blanco tequila)

1 part triple sec

1 part fresh lime juice

1 part fresh pineapple juice

Agave, to taste

In a shaker with ice, combine all ingredients and give is a good shake.

Serve in a chilled glass and garnish with fresh pineapple, a little lime zest and a tiny sprinkle of chili powder for a little somethin’ somethin’. 

Dadadadada Dun.... TEQUILA!
