Notes
- Blending: You can make this drink not blended, it's just not as fun. But in order to blend it well, I suggest placing your frozen fruit on the bottom closest to the blade and ice on top of that. It helps to get it blended easier on the bottom first. You also need the liquid to actually be close to the blade so when it starts mixing, it can have some liquid to make it smoother and continue to actually blend.- Rim: If you have never done this before it can seem daunting at first. However, it's super simple. Make sure you place very dry sugar, salt, or tajin on a flat, small if you have one, plate. Take a wedge of lime and rub the juice from it along the edge of the rim of your glass. Then flip the glass upside down into the plate. Swirl the glass in a circle (and maybe around a little) to coat the rim. Voila!- Garnishing: I personally love a good garnish and was so excited to use my hibiscus flowers on this one from Gourmet Sweet Botanicals. They have so many different fun edible flower options to choose from. They sent me a few options for this drink, but this one just seemed perfect for this tropical profile. I also made some dehydrated pineapple flowers for a garnish as well. I didn't love them as much as the flowers, but they are definitely a fun option!- Batching: You can for sure batch this recipe for a large pitcher/group. I would assume times-ing the recipe by 3 would fill a normal sized pitcher. I would suggest following all the same steps as below and pouring into a pitcher. Then rim all the glasses separately (or have a fun station for guests to do so) and a bowl for garnishes so they can top theirs afterwards.
