As temperatures start to drop and fall takes hold we can’t blame you for wanting to extend summer just a little bit longer. But while we can’t control the seasons we can offer you this recipe from Puerto Rico’s El Conquistador, a Waldorf Astoria resort, where they serve this coconutty cup of Caribbean on their private offshore retreat, Palomino Island. Giddy up!
