This Barbados Punch cocktail is light and refreshing but beware! It can kick like a mule if you're not careful! Spiced rum, pineapple, lime, and Triple Sec combine with ice to make this Caribbean cooler!

Barbados Punch is a light, refreshing rum based cocktail that packs an unexpected punch. Pineapple and lime make it summer anytime! Restlesschipotle.com

I'll be honest with you. Snow is pretty but I am no longer a fan. 

Maybe it's getting older? Snow is cold, and messy, and not as much fun as it was when I was eight. I think that if I could afford it I would be the person who had a winter home in the Caribbean. Actually, I'd probably have a summer home there, too, truth be told. I'd love a cruise about now.

Seriously. This is TEXAS y'all. TEXAS. In the past week the kids have had two snow days and the school has been closed early once. The meteorologist is saying that Tuesday the high will be 70 and Wednesday we'll have snow.

It's definitely time for the tropics. Sadly, I am a lowly food writer. Sometimes I write parenting articles but nothing that would encourage a client to send me to the Caribbean.

Sigh.

This Rum Punch cocktail is surprisingly non-boozy. It has a light, tangy, pineapple lime flavor -- think of a strong infused water. It will remind you that summer is coming and the Caribbean is only a couple of paychecks away.

Barbados Punch is an easy, refreshing cocktail with pineapple and lime. Bring the beach home, anytime. RestlessChipotle.com

Too bad you have to use those paychecks for things like the mortgage, right?

It's easy to make and if you let the Barbados Punch sit for a few minutes the slushy, light colored top will separate from the bottom. I like it this way, I think it's pretty. Traditional garnishes are lime and fresh pineapple but since I didn't have any pineapple the lime it was. Give it a try - I think you'll like it, especially if you don't like drinks that taste like booze.

    Looks yummy! I can't believe all this freaking snow!! So crazy. We're on snow day number 9 today. And probably 10 tomorrow. This drink would be perfect if I could fill up my bathtub, put on my bathing suit, point my space heater directly in my face, and pretend its a warm summer day in the pool. haha. If you can, stop by and link up for Thursty Thursday!!

    LOL I have that problem too, don't write about anything that would entice a client to send me to the Caribbean either! *insert pouty face here* But I'm done with snow too, thats just silly, no one "needs" snow right?? 🙂
    On the upside, your drink looks fabulous!
