What is a xylocarp? It is a fruit with a hard woody shell. The best-known xylocarp is a coconut. And the best way to enjoy coconut? In a Pina Colada, of course.
With just 3 ingredients, some ice, and a heavy-duty blender you can enjoy an Xciting Xylocarp Cocktail.....
X may have been the most challenging letter yet. Let's take a look at what the others are serving up today.....

- A Day in the Life on the Farm: Xylocarp Cocktail
I was a little worried about what I would make that started with the letter X. I did a Google search for foods or recipes that started with X and there were quite a few more than I had expected. When I saw Xylocarp listed and learned that Coconut was a Xylocarp I suddenly had a ton of recipes I could make.
All of that research made me powerful thirsty. I had all the ingredients I needed for this cocktail and had not yet shared it with you. It's not very seasonal at the moment but I am having a Tropical-themed Friendsgiving on Friday so there is that. Not to mention that they celebrate the Holidays on the Islands too.....So, Cheers!!
