Manual
Go Coconuts
Many grocery stores carry coconuts year-round.
Stock up. For starters, you can drill a hole in them
and drain out the milk so you can rell it with your
favorite concoction (warning: please drill responsibly).
Insert a straw after it’s full and be the envy of your
friends. You can also (carefully) saw the coconuts in
half and use the two parts as tropical votive holders.
Your Aunt Rita would be proud.
Paper Umbrellas
If you’re going to have boat drinks, you need the
paper umbrellas. Enough said.
Leis
Yes, get a box load of plastic leis. Everyone will
want one, so be prepared. For the DIYers – buy your
favorite fresh owers and string them yourself.
Beach Bar
If you’re clever with tools you can make a great
tiki bar just using some 4x4s, 2x4s, plywood and
corrugated aluminum siding. Be creative, and be sure
to send us pictures.
