Here’s a Piña Colada that went somewhere sunny and came back changed.
“Piña Colada went to Bondi, got a glow-up and came back with commitment issues,” says the drink’s creator, Miles Bessis.

“A strawberry-and-cream twist on the tropical classic, blending Bacardi Blanca, pineapple, coconut and strawberry into a silky, frozen escape from Sydney winter, transporting you to Acapulco.”
“Think Mexican beach club meets Sydney Harbour sunset. Sweet, tangy, creamy and dangerously easy to drink. Balanced with a hit of citrus and a touch of salt to keep the sweetness in check.”
