Saturday Snap – Varadero Sunset

Yes, we were in the Mayan Riviera, not Varadero.

Yes, I technically quit drinking booze at the end of last August (but with the caveat that I *mostly* quit which allows me to still imbibe occasionally – or more than occasionally if I’m at an all-inclusive resort!)

But yes, this drink we invented a few years ago after a full day on the beach in Varadero which ended with us as the only people left on the beach is a great counter-point to the famous “Tequila Sunrise.”

In Cuba, it was simply heavily blended rum cream and ice that we were drinking.  In Mexico, I improvised and had it made with Baileys and Kailua and yum – boozy milkshake! 🙂

(Oh, and I’m not a big wheel dropping $20 tips.  That’s 20 pesos which is like a buck fifty at current exchange rates.  Honestly, I think part of the subconscious reason Americans and Canadians like all-inclusives is it’s a way to feel rich when you aren’t – leaving 20 and 50 and even 100 peso tips like you’re Puff Daddy or something.)
