Drive Through Daiquiri Stands

Most people do not believe this when you first tell them, so here is the proof: in New Orleans you can get frozen daiquiri's at a drive through stand. Usually this is the first stop we make when we drive into town or as we are coming from the airport. You can get about 30 different flavors and they come in 20 oz cups for around $5 or a gallon jug for around $20 -- the latest addition to the family is a 24 oz squeeze bottle that costs $10 for the first one, but you can fill it up for $5 each time after that.

My favorite flavors are strawberry and pina colada, and around Christmas time they have the very popular egg nogg daiquiri. If you have a lot of people it is a good idea to bring home a few different flavors and they also keep well in the freezer for a long time so you really can't buy too much.

The trick is to not get caught drinking the daiquiri in the car -- wait until you get home.
