Ah, the flavors of the tropics!
My neighbor Paulette saw on Facebook that we were on vacation on the North Shore of Oahu and (thank goodness for email) immediately sent us her favorite blended drink recipe.
Since we were staying at a rental house with another family, we had a kitchen, so we ran to the store for the goods and scampered back to use the blender. We took her recommendation to add rum (rum usually makes everything better!), but actually found ourselves enjoying it more as a virgin tropical fruit smoothie. We saved the rum to add to the rest of the lilikoi juice another night. 
The recipe is simple. The amounts are up to you.
And the beach is a mere sip away.
