Lime In Da Coconut Blended Mojito
While living in St Thomas USVI i was introduced to Lime in da Coconut, but as with everything here at The Pink Papaya we decided to put our own twist on the original. This drink is as if the lime in da coconut and a mojito had a baby then put it in a blender…I assure you no children were hurt when creating this delectable concoction. Refreshingly unique comes to mind when sipping on this, while sitting at Luquillo Beach reminiscing of Magens bay, Brewers beach o’ hell any beach in St. Thomas they are all over the top gorgeous, clean and inviting like our Lime in da coconut frozen mojito.
