For a tasty drink with minimal work, an ice-cold Lime in the Coconut Cocktail is sure to be a hit with both young and old!
The best thing about this lime coconut cocktail is that the alcohol can be left out of the recipe and added afterwards to individual glasses, so that children and non-drinkers can still enjoy the beverage, while those that choose can cool down with a drink that has a little more kick!
And since it’s all whipped up in the blender, you can make enough for a crowd in just minutes.
My boys and I both loved the combination of creamy coconut and tangy lime in this unique beverage and it was a great way of beating the heat!

I would like to try the Mixed Berry
Tip: I will provide the BBQ but you need to BYOB
BYOB in this case stands for “Bring Your Own Bug-Jacket”… I live in the bush! lol
I love lime flavour so I would most like to try limeade. I am sure it is a very refreshing drink for summer.
It takes a bit of preparation, but my tip is enjoyable for the entire family. Each summer we have what we call a movie night/party under the stars. We set up the backyard for a movie with cozy blankets, outdoor recliners etc and set up a white sheet and have the movie. It is more so for the children but the adults watch as well if they choose. The majority of the adults though remain on the patio and chat with each other while they can see their children. We choose 2 different cocktails and also have beer for the men that are too ‘cool’ for cocktails. It is a great family evening that everyone enjoys.
I always have a large sherbert punch for everyone. I can add o it as I go and not have to measure
Mixed Berry!
I like the 100% orange juice by Minute Maid.
I always have lots of kids’ games ready for the outdoors – be prepared to tackle boredom.
I would like to try the Cranberry Punch.
We always have lots of popsicles, cold drinks and sandwich fixings on hand.
