Scene: It's 9:30 AM and you have only been on the beach for 30 minutes, but the warm Caribbean sun is already hot enough to fry an egg. All you want is a Pina Colada or a Strawberry Daiquiri to quench your thirst... but it's not even 10 o'clock yet--let alone noon! To make matters worse, you see one of the resort's wait staff carrying a tray of frozen cocktails down the beach. You think to yourself: Already? The other guests must be animals--drinking at 9:30 AM? Hmm... those do look delicious... maybe a virgin Pina Colada? That would be acceptable, right?
Were these tropical frozen cocktails actually ordered by resort guests at 9:30 AM? Or is this merely a trick to motivate guests to start ordering daiquiri after daiquiri early in the day? These drinks cast some sort of spell over hotel patrons. Once you see a frozen cocktail you are left yearning for one until FINALLY you gather the courage to order a Miami Vice (half Pina Colada, half Strawberry Daiquiri... yum) for yourself. Maybe around 11 AM? It MUST be noon somewhere!
I don't believe tropical resorts attempt to deceive customers by carrying around Pina Coladas with no "owners" -- BUT if the morning is a little slow on drink orders, they really should consider sending servers out with trays of frozen deliciousness. It would be an effective marketing strategy and I think it would do the trick!
I haven't even shown you a picture and you're already aching for a Strawberry Daiquiri! Maybe Mango? Believe me, I feel your pain.
