Take a Vacation in Your Kitchen

When January hits, things can get dreary. Skies are grey, mornings are dark, and the chill keeps you bundled up indoors, dreaming of warmer climes and maybe a tropical drink (or two).

While we can't control the weather, we are here to help you create your own little tropical paradise at home. Bright flavors evoke memories of sandy beaches, steel drum bands, and skin tones that move past alabaster. A few paper-umbrella-worthy cocktails don't hurt, either. Go ahead: put the lime in the coconut. Drink it all up. Here are recipes that will take you on a vacation in the comfort of your own kitchen, brought to you by the spirited community of home cooks at Food52.
