I’m not sure what you’re planning on doing this weekend, but I do know this.

Whatever it is, it will be exponentially better if you do it {before, during, or after} drinking these frozen cocktails of perfection.

One of Daniel and I’s favorite places is without a doubt the island of St. John. It’s right off the coast of St. Thomas, so you can easily take a ferry from there. We stopped at here on a cruise last year for my birthday (you can see a couple of photos and read our delicious love story here).

We love St. John for many reasons.

One, being:

Another, being:

Allow me to introduce you to Woody’s Seafood Saloon. We ended up here after asking a local where we could find great food and drinks, and we are eternally grateful for his recommendation.

{This, by the way, is the best thing you can do when you’re anywhere foreign. Locals always know best}

Woody’s is just a walk from the beach, and it’s about as authentic as it gets. Here you can find the most delicious tropical cocktails you’ve ever tasted, and the perfect selection of tropical-island-inspired seafood and appetizers. We were particularly obsessed with their conch fritters and the most outrageous drink I’ve ever had…

You guessed it – that of the frozen coconut and lime variety.

I’m a huge coconut fan, so I love pretty much every drink involving it – but this…something about it was extraordinary. It was beyond refreshing, but it had such a kick to it – the flavors practically burst inside your mouth. I could never seem to get that frozen creation out of my mind. And there’s really only one logical thing to do in this situation.

Move to St. John so you can enjoy them on a daily basis.

And if that doesn’t work out, you can always try and make up your own version at home. That’s precisely what I did a couple of weeks ago when we had friends over for a little Sunday Funday. I really had no idea what they put in the Woody’s original, but I knew it involved coconut, lime, and rum.

So, I winged it. And this is what I came up with.
