Pineapple Seltzer with a hint of Coconut

Did you just run to the refrigerator to pull open a can of Coke ... Hold on for a minute. !

Treat yourself with a fresh mock-tail of some fresh pineapple and coconut. I had looked over the internet for Pina colada sometime back and got the inspiration for this drink from it.But I didn't want to miss the fizz of the carbonated drinks that I have got so addicted to ! Adding a little Seltzer gave that extra kick.

I suggest next time you have a party, treat the teetotalers with this Pineapple punch. Make yourself this drink and carry it to the beach ..... you can get the feel of being in Hawaii !! Or just chill out on the patio with a book or listen to your favorite music sipping it away.
