It's National Pina Colada Day! If you haven't tried a Chi Chi, then you are in for a treat. It is Pina Colada's little sister. Where a Pina Colada is made with rum, a Chi Chi features vodka. We were in Palm Beach, Florida a couple of weeks ago and it is safe to say we enjoyed our fair share of Pina Coladas and Miami Vices. Now that we're back to the Oklahoma heat (minus the beach view) I wanted to re-create the flavors of our vacation using our Ninja Slushi Professional Frozen Drink Maker. Last week I shared a Frozen version of one of our favorite cocktails: The Oklahoma Club Special. We have had so much fun with our Slushi Maker, I have been determined to adapt some of our most revered cocktail recipes for the Ninja. After several trial runs over the July 4th weekend, we finally achieved success with the Chi Chi! And I think I might even like it better than a traditional Pina Colada because I may or may not have had too many Rum & Cokes back in my college days. Run, don't walk and get yourself a Ninja Slushi Professional Frozen Drink Maker so you can cool off with a Chi Chi.

| Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry if desired. Delicious but not necessary. |

| Apparently in Florida the correct garnish is a fresh flower! |

THE CHI CHI (Adapted for the Ninja Slushi Professional Frozen Drink Maker)
9 ounces Pineapple Juice
6 ounces Coco Lopez Cream of Coconut
6 ounces water
In a measuring cup whisk together pineapple juice, cream of coconut and vodka. Pour into your Ninja Slushi Professional Frozen Drink Maker. Add 6 ounces of water to the measuring cup and kind of rinse it out, adding to the drink maker. Select the Spiked Slush setting and the highest setting (10 bars)
Enjoy once it is frozen! (Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry if desired - or if you're in Florida, apparently a fresh flower!)
