  • 3/4 oz ounce coconut simple syrup
  • 3 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz whipped cream
  • 1oz crushed green candy sprinkles

  1. In a cocktail shaker add coconut simple syrup, vodka, Midori, pineapple juice, and ice.
  2. Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 25 seconds.
  3. Strain into a serving glass.
  4. Add whipped cream.
  5. Finish with crushed green candy sprinkles.
  6. Serve.

Wishing you and your family a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day full of rainbows! And a beautiful everyday too 😉
Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive

It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just we It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just went bowling for the first time in my life! 🎳

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
