Ingredients
- Coconut milk-This is what gives the drink the creamy pie like flavor. I like the coconut milk because it is nice and light.
- Limes-The limes are what makes this drink! I always prefer fresh juice over store bought. If you do buy store bought, make sure there are not any added sugars.
- Pineapple juice-This is what sweetens this drink. You can obviously make your own with a juicer, or you can buy organic pineapple juice. Just make sure nothing funky is added to it.

Expert Tips
- Tip #1: Make sure your limes are ripe! The best way to tell if your limes are ripe is by the texture. They should be somewhat soft. If you leave limes sit out on your counter it will help them ripen faster.
- Tip #2: The sugar rim is what makes this drink! Do not skip this step.
