BAHAMIAN SKY JUICE
This is an unusual presentation for an unusual drink. Be careful--it's very strong. If, like me, you dislike gin, the recipe will also work with rum. From the Barbecue Bible. Make sure when you get the coconuts that you shake them to hear the water slosh around inside. Time listed does not include chilling time.

Tips:
- Use ripe fruit: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and more flavorful your sky juice will be. If you can't find ripe fruit, you can speed up the ripening process by placing it in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
- Add a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of fruits. Some popular fruits to use in sky juice include mango, pineapple, guava, grapefruit, and orange.
- Add a little sweetness: If your fruit is not very sweet, you can add a little sugar or honey to taste.
- Chill before serving: Sky juice is best served chilled. If you're making it ahead of time, be sure to chill it for at least an hour before serving.
- Garnish with a sprig of mint: A sprig of mint adds a refreshing touch to sky juice and makes it look more festive.
