For two years of my life, I lived amidst palm trees, waterfalls, swimming pools, and sand, in a two-story apartment, painted pink. This wasn’t Hawaii, nor was it Florida. No, this was in Shanghai, China. I basically lived in a resort when I lived in China (for two years in high school).
In addition to the above features, this resort boasted two excellent dining places– a café and an upscale restaurant– both with delicious vegan options.One of the most popular menu items at the café was the club’s signature fruit margaritas, which could be ordered with or without alcohol (as a high school student, mine were always virgin, of course). Depending on what was in season, the margarita flavors included strawberry, mango, kiwi, lime, raspberry, and banana (my favorite).
Imagine lounging under a palm tree, a cool breeze brushing your cheek, as you sip a sweet, refreshing margarita… now you don’t have to imagine it– I’m bringing the recipe to you!

ohhhh I would like to go to banana margaritaville. it looks so nice and sounds so yummy!
so fun!
I cannot get over the fact that you spent part of high school living in China! That is just too cool. From the photo, I can imagine it seemed like a permanent, relaxing vacation. And I’ve never had a margarita – so now I have something new to try once it warms up around here (I’ll be having mine virgin, of course)!
And thanks for being such a good friend. You’re amazing!
Ah, thanks for bringing back memories of the tropics on this midwinter day! I wish I was in a hammock right now!
Yum! That recipe makes me wish it were summer RIGHT NOW!
Also, to echo everyone else, that is awesome about you living in China! How did you like it?
That sounds perfect, it’s pretty cold and very windy here right now. Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts then! 🙂
I have a lime juice quota I must meet monthly…
Boy that sounds yummy!
Love the recipe.
Must have been wonderful living there for a couple of years. I always wanted to get to the East but never made it and spent my time traveling Africa and Europe.
I just discovered this page as I was kindly clicking through your blog. Wow!! Your life is so fascinating. I also lived in a hotel for a small part of my life. Mine was a small family bed and breakfast in Ireland. When my parents first bought it, my siblings each got to choose a bedroom to live in for the summer while my parents made plans to fix the place up. We loved it, but the pub food we lived off in Ireland wasn’t quite as exotic as Shanghai, I’m sure.
