The Perfect drink for your next party
Once when I was on holiday in Hawaii. The sun was beating down mercilessly on the sand, and I longed for a drink. I walked into the bar and saw the most glorious sight: a coconut margarita.
I ordered one and took a sip. It was refreshing and delicious, transporting me to a faraway place where the sun always shines.
