Bartender’s tips and advice
- This recipe along with the Swimming Pool and the Pink Flamingo are one of the most popular variations of the classic Piña Colada recipe. The Pink Colada tastes a bit more like fruits with the orange juice and the interesting berry note.
- Whenever possible, use fresh squeezed orange juice when mixing. There´s at least 1 1/2 oz. (= 4,5 cl = 1 shot) of juice in every orange.
