Tropical fruits are definitely my favorite-they are acidic, but sweet which is incredibly addictive to me. My inspiration for this shake is actually a virgin pina colada which I first experienced on a cruise in 2009. We were having a good old time out on the deck one night watching everyone dance and drink out of coconuts and bright flashing cups, but I was wishing the whole time that they had something non alcoholic for me to enjoy! At this point in my life I didn't really know a whole lot about virgin drinks (or any drink for that matter and I still really don't), but when we went to ask the nice little man at the Pina Colada stand if he could make a virgin drink for us he promptly threw a few things together and handed me my own bright flashing cup full of amazingingness! Seriously, if you have never had a virgin pina colada make one or even better make this drink which is very reminiscent of one, but with an added kick of flavor!
