Discovery Channel is advertising that shark week is coming up so I thought this was timely. I live in Florida which is quite possibly one of the most dangerous states to call home. You have hurricanes, tornadoes, alligators, venomous snakes and of course sharks. Thousands of people visit Florida every year and what vacation would be complete without a trip to the beach? According to the International Shark Attack File there were 520 unprovoked shark attacks between 1882-2005 with 13 of those being fatal. Unprovoked is the key word here. You are swimming minding your own business when all of a sudden a huge fish with teeth tears into your calf and you are now an appetizer. Have fun at the beach.

Here is my first post and what better first post than a recipe for a delicious tropical drink.

The orange juice and lime juice should be freshly squeezed. Now that you have the ingredients get yourself a glass. Put some ice in that glass. Crsuhed or shaved work best. Combine the ingredients in the order listed. If you have it- garnish with a pineapple and cherry flag.
