For my cocktail connoisseurs, usually a Margarita is my summer go-to drink, but Piña Coladas just get me in that vacay mood. Tiki Drinks in general were made to get anyone in the vacay mood. Vision yourself sitting on a bar stool or standing with a drink in your hand up either up on a rooftop or on the patio soaking up the sun. Feeling the vibes yet ? I think so. Piña Coladas are probably one of the easiest drinks to make next to Rum & Coke. Here’s a your typical Piña Colada on the right. Only three ingredients — pineapple juice, rum (Malibu) and coconut cream. Best Piña Colada isa FROZEN one.

FROZEN Piña Colada Recipe:

1 1/2 cup ice

1/2 cup diced pineapple, frozen

2 ounces pineapple juice

2 ounces Coco Lopez coconut cream

1 1/2 ounces white rum

1 ounce dark rum
