Island Hopper Recipe

Here at Remodelaholic we love all things home decor and DIY, but we also love RECIPES. While we will continue to share our latest and greatest remodeling projects we want to start sharing some really yummy recipes once a week. Enjoy the recipes and know that we are still Remodelaholics.

This is one of those recipes that I found in a magazine a couple of years ago, then after forgetting it for a while I decided to try my hand at making it and I got hooked! Island Hopper is going to become your Summer drink staple that’s for sure.

In case this is the first time you are hearing about an Island Hopper it is a mocktail that’s made with all the summer flavors, think passion fruit, pineapple juice, and brown sugar. It’s a refreshing treat that takes you straight to white sandy beaches and that’s so delicious you will find yourself making it again and again (and answering, again and again, the million of requests you are going to get for the recipe) .

In my opinion is the perfect drink to serve at summer parties, and I really believe it can be the signature drink of all your seasonal get-togethers. Just think for a second how cute they would look on a table dusted with brown sugar (so it looks like sand) and nautical details.

I like to also add lemon juice to this drink to amp up the citrus flavor. That is what really makes this recipe shine!

To make it just place all your ingredients into a drink shaker and shake well. This is one of my favorite parts because it is fun to shake the drink up. Then pour into a couple of glasses and you are all set.

If you are feeling extra tropical you can also decorate your drinks with little umbrellas, that will surely surprise your guests and will leave them talking about your little party for the months to come.

What’s your favorite Summer party idea? Do you prefer BBQ’s or Pool Parties? Share it in the comments!
