The Perfect Pina Colada

Whilst it is earlier than my usual Friday Cocktail of the Week post, today (July 10) is National Pina Colada Day - so how could I resist?

Pina Colada was my go-to sundowner cocktail on Celebrity Reflection, The Sunset Bar made the best version in my opinion, so we would pick them up from there and take them to the Lawn Club to watch the sun go down over the Caribbean Sea.
