  1. Oh wow, that looks sensational! I might try it with sparkling mineral water instead of the liquor so the kids can try it.

    Best wishes,

  3. Oh, I have been wanting to use some coconut rum! Do you know how to make a Bali Hai? I had one of those in a restaurant on vacation. Yummy! Also very tropical.
