You're hardly going to get complaints if you serve someone a Pina Colada, but this recipe strikes the perfect balance. Not cloying, not overwhelmed by coconut or pineapple, not too assertive with spices or lime. My friends and family reacted with "always make us this recipe. Don't change it."

With that said, this recipe also acts as a perfect platform for experimentation. Add a glance of Banane de Bresil. Add a bit of orgeat. Add some of AElred's Melon Apertif.
