It’s days like today that cause my husband and I took look at each other and say, “it’s another day in paradise”.  We feel so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place as Central Florida where the sun is {almost} always shining, grass is lush and green, and trees and flowers are in full bloom.  Our favorite place to spend our weekends is in our backyard, enjoying the breeze, swimming in the pool and relishing the simple things in life.  After all, they are, often times, the most gratifying.  This fruity drink was inspired by our little “paradise”.  One sip made us feel like we were far away in the tropics.  It was the perfect complement to the warmth of the shining sun.

• 2 cups sparkling water (or coconut water)
