Shipwreck Drink

This is another tropical drink I made. The Shipwreck Drink has a beautiful flavor with a nice fizz. It’s easy to make at home and a great option to add to your list of tropical homemade drinks.

My husband adores these kinds of drinks, especially the fruity ones with a tropical touch. This drink reminds me of the Caribou Lou drink, but I made the Shipwreck Drink fizzy by adding lemon-lime soda. It’s not a necessary ingredient, but I love the flavor it adds to the drink.

The Shipwreck Drink ends up with a nice light yellow color because of the pineapple juice.

You can also customize some ingredients as you like, such as the simple syrup, some people add it, and some don’t, so it’s totally optional.

You can also decorate your drink however you want and enjoy it. I’m sure you’ll love the taste, especially if you enjoy tropical fruity drinks like I do.
