Tropical Drink Recipe: Sand In Your Shorts

The "Sand In Your Shorts" drink from Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts, Aruba, was inspired by an exceptionally sandy guest who requested that the bartender exercise her creativity with a refreshing drink recipe. She mixed up this concoction: a frosty drink with rum and coconut, which gets texture from finely grated ice.
