Hello friends! It was a hot one today which was perfect weather for a blended Piña Colada! Today's cocktail was sweetened and blueified (technical term) with blue curaçao, which created a wonderfully textured sky blue version of the classic cocktail. The coconut cream was lovely and bright, and added a nice frothy head to the drink. Overall this was well balanced with the pineapple juice and wasn't overly sweet as some Piña Coladas can be. I was pretty impressed with how this turned out and will...

Editor's Note

A Piña Colada gets a vibrant, sky-blue makeover. Blended smooth, this riff uses blue curaçao for a sweet orange note against the classic pineapple and coconut.
