Oh man, this is a busy week around here. Between two super quick trips, lots of driving, three of us participating in a mud run and our back to school breakfast, all on top of our already hectic lives, I am going to need a drink or two to make it through. And since my family has a HUGE surprise coming soon (we are putting in an inground pool, but shh…don’t tell my kids!), I am in the mood for all things tropical and poolside lounger worthy. And this drink is just that. When I was creating it and my son asked me what it was called, the first thing that came to mind was “summer in a glass.” So that’s what we’ll go ahead and call it, but this cocktail may just make appearances all year round for me since it’s so tasty!
Although I am not a huge coconut lover, coconut rum is one of my favorite add ins for summer drinks. Using that as my base, I tried different fruity concoctions and mixes until I came up with this…
- ½ cup lemonade
- ½ cup lemon lime soda
- 1¾ cup pineapple juice
- 3 Tbsp coconut rum
- coconut shavings for garnish (optional)
- Mix all ingredients together and serve cold. Enjoy responsibly, for adults 21 and over.

So while I am sitting in the super hot, humid southern weather and just waiting and waiting for what feels like forever for our pool to be ready for a dip, I will enjoy this summer in a glass. If I close my eyes and concentrate as hard as I can, maybe, just maybe, I’ll feel as though I am transported to a tropical island for a few sips.
Make sure to check back next week to hear all about our back to school event (I’ll be posting some PTO ideas) and my race recap!
