In recent years, e-commerce giant Amazon has become the most efficient of Santa’s helpers. To wit: the company recently released amazing facts about its membership-based Amazon Prime service, which allows online shoppers to get lightning-fast deliveries, expedited service and enticing deals just in time for Christmas. It so happens that the last present delivered by Amazon Prime in time for Christmas has a connection to Costa Rica:
The last Prime Now order that was delivered in time for Christmas included 3 different 12-packs of Bai5, 5 calorie, 100% Natural, Antioxidant Infused Beverage, 18-ounce bottles. Flavor varieties included Costa Rica Clementine, Limu Lemon and Molokai Coconut. The order was placed on December 24 at 10:24pm and was delivered at 11:06pm.
Bai, the manufacturer of the Costa Rica Clementine drink, describes the product as being low on calories, high in antioxidants and full of flavor. The company even suggests an interesting recipe:
Costa Rica Clementine Creamsicle Shooters
“Experimenting” isn’t just for college parties. Neither is whipped-cream flavored vodka. (Trust us. We experimented.) Whip up a batch of Costa Rica Clementine Creamsicle Shooters, throw back the nostalgic flavor of this creamy citrus treat, and revel in your youth. P.S. Costa Rica Clementine adds only about a calorie to each shooter, so this cocktail is only as “guilty” as the vodka-fueled frat boy shenanigans that may ensue.
Ingredients:
1 bottle Bai5 Costa Rica Clementine
10 oz whipped cream-flavored vodka
Directions:
Pour Costa Rica Clementine and whipped cream-flavored vodka in a well-chilled martini shaker full of ice. Shake until chilled. Pour into shot glasses, deliver an epic toast, and open the hatch. Notice your guests’ faces when they taste your two-ingredient concoction and realize what you just accomplished.
