Notes
Recipe variations:
- Add or substitute additional fruits, such as papaya, guava, bananas, grapes, or watermelon
- Garnish with toasted coconut
- Strain the simple syrup so you have the coconut flavor without the actual coconut
- Make it boozy by substituting Malibu rum for the simple syrup
- Use a different type of syrup, such as Honey Citrus Simple Syrup
- Leave out the simple syrup and just enjoy the fruit!
