I need to get to Brazil! Argentina! Belize! Cost Rica! Honduras! Who's with me? If you are, I've got the drinks, you bring the snacks. Made for ZWT7.

Awesome! Since we prefer our drinks on the sweet side I used Rose's lime juice rather than fresh squeezed and taking a cue from momaphet I ran my coconut thru the processor with the salt but still had a bit of time making it stick. Next time I'll use a bit of the coconut cream to help make it stick. Made for ZWT5.

This is good but maybe a little bit too tart. Maybe I'll add more coconut cream or maybe coconut rum. Thanks Jan. Made for the Saucy Senoritas of ZWT5

This is soooo good! I loved the coconut cream (I used Coco Lopez) - less sweet here than in a Colada. I had trouble with the coconut around the rim - it wouldn't stick - next time I'll give it a whirl in the blender to make it finer and use a mix of 3 parts coconut to 1 part salt. Thanks Jan this for sharing your recipe, this may be my pick of the tour! Made for ZWT 5 for the Cooks With Dirty Faces
