My, oh my, Key Lime…Coladas! A few years ago, during a visit to Key West, we ordered a Key Lime Colada at one of the many really good restaurant/bars we visited. Key Lime Pie is one of our favorite desserts and, to our pleasant surprise, Key Lime Pies are abundant in Key West. It is said (although there is some dispute) that Key Lime Pie originated in Key West, and regardless of the origination, Key West has got to be the best place to enjoy the delicious treat!
Anyway, the Key Lime Colada we ordered was a perfect combination of tart & sweet without swinging the pendulum either way. We’ve had a hankering for another one for quite some time, and since we haven’t’ been able to get back down to Key West for too long, we thought we’d try our hand at the delicious rum filled drink. The graham cracker crust makes it taste even more like a slice of pie! Tell us what you think!
