Can't get to that island of your dreams this summer, but still crave all the food flavors of the tropics? Bring those exotic tastes home with the following tips from the folks at Epicure Market in Miami Beach. With these goodies, you’ll feel like you just stepped off the airplane and on the beach—but still have plenty of change to spare.—Nicole Denis
The Staycation Menu
Exotic Beverages
Cafés Richard Ethiopian Moka Sidamo: Start your “getaway” right with this floral and light coffee.
Tao of Tea’s Vana Tulsi: Made from wild forest basil, this tea has a lingering orange-mint flavor that will leave you feeling refreshed. Enjoy hot or iced at lunchtime.
Mint-Litchi Smoothie: Ceres Juices offers up a recipe. Add a sugarcane swizzle stick with speared fresh fruit for garnish.
“Seaside” Snacking
Bearitos Tortilla Chips: In yellow, white and blue corn, these crisp tortilla chips boast an organic assortment and support good farming practices.
Blue Smoke Peach Salsa: Get some saucy sweetness—without the sugar. Sweet onions and a hint of peach make this all-natural salsa so satisfying, and with a good dose of heat to top it off.
Decadent “Room Service”
The French Farm L’Epicurien Coco-Passion Fruit Jam or Banana Flambee Jam: Spoon over vanilla ice cream or into a pastry cup or just eat out of the jar.
Jeni’s Ice Cream in Rockmill Golden Ale & Apricots: Treat yourself with this tart and sweet ice cream, made with small-batch Belgian-style beer from Ohio. Because what’s better than beer and dessert than enjoying them together?
