Oh, how I love a virgin piña colada on a beach. I always order one (usually just one a year) on my first day of vacation in a warm place. It's a delicious confirmation that yes, I really am on vacation in a warm place. Well, I am determined to recreate that happy feeling at home, even if it is cold, snowy, icy, and dark, and spring seems years away. And I like the idea of a float instead of a smoothie because sometimes, smoothies make so much noise when you run the Vitamix that it takes all the joy out of the drink. But could I find all the ingredients to make it organic? The answer is a resounding YES.
So, the other night during American Idol, I got out the glasses and the straws and did my experiment. I used organic pineapple juice (yum!) and opened a can of organic, unsweetened, and "classic" (as opposed to light) coconut milk--which is rich and creamy and very liquid-y. I skipped the sparkling water, but would try adding it in the summertime if I were making a lighter version. And pulled out the last bit of organic vanilla ice cream.
