Pina Colada

I LOVE coconut ice cream! so I tried to figure out how to make those Pina Coladas taste more coconut-y. Heck is that even a word? Well it is now ;P but I guarantee this recipe will give all the coconut flavor you wants with that delicious coconut ice cream you would eat as kids or now.


Ingredients
coconut popsicle stick - get the ones with a bit of chunks to add to substitute for ice for more coconut flavors
coconut juice
Rum
Pineapple for Garnish
DO NOT FORGET AN UMBRELLA IF YOU CAN

Classic Rum and Coke

One of the easiest things to make and the best part is that you can control the amount of rum you put in here. When I make this, there is always a difference in the amount of rum I add to work well with the taste buds of those who are drinking this. Such as Person A with Low Tolerance will not want too much alcohol I will add less and of course with those heavy drinkers I put 90% rum and a bit of coke! and yes I am that nice with my booze in drinks!

Ingredients
Rum
Coke
Hint of Lime Juice - I like drinks slightly more sour so I like adding it to remove the taste of coke which I dislike now

Lela Cocktail by Donna

Thought I slowly try to mark my time in all the different locations that I have worked at so far. I thought I start with the most recent and work backwards all the way to Junior High School.

From January 2012 to Present, I have been working at Lela. Lela is a very cool site that hosts a new way to shop! You take a quick profile and they start matching you to Baby Products or Electronics! I recall the first time I completed my profile, they only had Cameras in the Electronics section (Yes it was quite small a long time ago nearly a year ago), I just recently purchased a camera. I decided to take a peak to see what I SHOULD'VE bought. It told me that I should've gotten the Canon Powershot. Funny thing is, I REALLY wanted to get this camera but it was too expensive! I settled for a Sony Cybershot. Guess what? That was actually one of my second products ranked in the upper 95%.

I think though that my favorite part of working at this place is that I can learn SO MUCH in less than a year! I feel as if I have learned A LOT since getting out of college and also after working at so many jobs. And it wasn't even in my major! To all my family and friends that read this, I know you asked me to leave multiple times to go back into an Engineering field, but honestly I think I have learned more here in HTML, Marketing, Google Analytics, Sales, Reporting, and MUCH MORE! I think this job has made me WANT to stay in a job where NOTHING is predictable as I can go from doing Administrative work to some small coding to Reporting and much more all within a day!

I am sure half of you guys are bored of reading about all this information as to why I made this drink and all, so I guess I should get to what you put in it huh?

Ingredients for Lela
Vodka - My favorite type of spirit! so I just had to have it!
Orange Curacao - to symbolize their brand color
Orange slice to garnish - the cup just looked too boring that I had to put it
