The Perfect Piña Colada

It’s a well know fact in my family that I love nothing in the entire world more than laying pool side and sipping on a good piña colada. In fact, it’s pretty much the highlight of any vacation when that first frosty colada arrives at my lounge chair just as the sun gets a little too hot for comfort.

The Perfect Piña Colada

The beauty of the classic piña colada is that it’s one of the only cocktails in history that tastes just as good virgin as it does boozy! Strawberry daiquiris are a close second but they just cant beat coconut + pineapple frozen goodness with a cherry on top.

The Perfect Piña Colada

And while I won’t be dragging my ever growing belly and swollen feet to Vegas this weekend, I will be blending up a (second) batch of virgin piña coladas and basking in the coolness of our AC. Oh, and in case you haven’t heard, today is National Piña Colada Day, as if you need another reason to make this recipe! So, what are your weekend plans? Aside from sipping on one of these of course!
