One of our activities was a trip to a water park, which ended with me and one of these poor young people grinding to a halt in the middle of a slide for some reason, there wasn't enough water coming down the slide to propel us forward. Make it in a clear plastic glass for kidsĪs a University Student I worked a summer job where I planned recreational activities for adults with disabilities.you can simply keep the kids' non-alcoholic and add rum (if desired) for the grown ups!.I love that you don't have to make 2 different drinks! And since I like to make them special drinks, I loved this drink so much that I wanted to share that joy with them, in a wholesome non-alcoholic way!Īnd even though the Miami Vice obviously has American roots, it's still the ideal red and white Canada Day drink! But that's exactly what happens when you get stuck in a water slide 🍁Canada Day DrinkĪlthough my kids are are growing up too fast, they aren't quite grown up enough for alcohol. And even better, I didn't have to go down any water slides like I did when they were little! Did I mention I hate water slides? It's funny that someone who could spend every spare minute at a water park in their teens would end up hating them so much.

I decided that when I got home I was going to make a Miami Vice Mocktail so my kids could also enjoy all the deliciousness that is this glorious combo of Pina colada and Strawberry daiquiri! But the really great thing about this drink is that it can be made with or without alcohol (rum)! Jump to: I never imagined going to a water park could be soo much fun, especially after my traumatic experience years ago. But unfortunately my Weight Watchers conscience kicked in, adding, 'but if you have it in a smaller size.' Damn that do-gooder voice! I'd never said that in my life and wow did it feel good! I was on vacation after all.

“This is the one the guys like,” bar manager Alan Gordon says.
