Happy National Pina Colada Day!

By alarsen | Thursday, July 10, 2008, 08:00 AM

Pineapple + coconut + rum = refreshing tropical genius …

Conjuring up images of the tropics and clear blue waters, the Pina Colada isn’t for everyday, but on July 10 it’s a must. Why? Thursday, July 10 is National Pina Colada Day. To celebrate here are a couple of recipes and photos courtesy of Mount Gay Rum. Cheers!

Ingredients: 1 oz. Mount Gay Eclipse Silver Rum, 1 oz. Pineapple juice, 2 oz. cream of coconut, 1 oz. light cream
