Piña Colada
The Piña Colada gets a bad rap among cocktail connoisseurs. For years, this classic drink was the star light of the blender boom, a symbol of poolside bars, beach bars and booze cruises. But the tropical cocktail—a mix of rum, coconut, pineapple and lime juice—dates back more than a half century, when the Piña Colada was the drink of the day in the Caribbean. Our recipe silences the blender blades and instead calls for pebble ice and a nice sturdy shake.
