Aruba: Green Iguana Cocktails

In my original post recounting the PG details of our honeymoon in Aruba, I commented on our snorkel tour with Red Sail Sports:

"During our snorkel tour, which began at 8 in the morning and included an open bar, we fell in love with their signature drink called the 'Green Iguana' (aptly named since we saw probably hundreds of iguanas roaming the island and our resort all week). Needless to say, it was a sleepy afternoon on the beach. I need to find this drink recipe. Need to."

More than two years later, I received the ingredient list from Red Sail and somehow miraculously recreated it. It's pineappley, coconutty goodness makes the perfect cocktail for lounging poolside or happy hour after a long, hot day on the beach.
