Pineapple Coconut Cake Vodka Slush--This Year's Signature Deck Drink

It's very common for events to have "signature" drinks these days.  So I decided I, too, could have a "signature" drink for summer entertaining.

Have you ever heard of this vodka?

I have seen it all over the net. It tastes like vanilla cake.  People were raving about it.

When DH saw it,  he asked me if I would like to try it.  Remembering all the good reviews, I thought I would give it a try.

I have to admit, I hated it. I had to dump out the fresh watermelon puree vodka martini I made with it.

Not one to waste, I had to come up with something to use this for. So I decided to try a version of my Christmas Frozen Slush drink.

I mixed one big can of pineapple juice, one can of coconut milk and one can of lemonade with the entire bottle  and then froze it. It's been waiting in the freezer for about a month.  Tonight I finally had the opportunity to test it.

I had a Father's Day BBQ and served the slush out on the deck before dinner.  YUM. It tasted so much better as a fruit slush with ginger ale added just before serving.  It really did taste like a pineapple cake.

After dinner my sister and mom finished watching NASCAR. They are both HUGE fans of #88.

I grabbed my camera when I heard yelling, clapping and jumping...

My 77-yr. old mother was doing jumping jacks! I guess they were happy that Jr. won (I think that is the name. I never watch NASCAR).
