CARIBBEAN SMOOTHIE



Caribbean Smoothie image

This is a very smooth drink and best served chilled. Beware it can sneak up on you. It would be lovely served in hollowed out papaya skins or hollowed out green coconuts with a toothpick or a parasol holding a piece of mango a bit of papaya and a wedge of orange. If you cannot find unsweetened coconut use sweetened but cut back on the sugar. I have specified light rum in the recipe the computer would not accept amber either may be used. Could serve as a lovely Brunch drink
