Everything Old is New Again!

Pina Colada over Rocks is coming back into style! The traditional Pina Colada is being requested more and more by folks that want to relax with a tried and true cocktail.  Bar staff are mixing the traditional with a twist of Strawberry, Mango and Passion Fruit, to add a little color, and more importantly, a taste that will ignite your pallet.  A splash of Strawberry, Passion Fruit or hint of Mango just gives the Pina Colada a unique flavor that is second to none!  

The Miami Vice - blended Strawberry mixed with Pina Colada and a splash of rum - is so incredibly popular across South Florida, having the drink over rocks instead of blended is a simple alternative to an old time favorite.  

Pina Colada Rocks Recipe

  • 16-ounce glass filled with ice
  • Pour 6 ounces of Island Oasis Pina Colada over ice
  • Add 2 ounces of rum and 1 ounce of water
  • Tumble twice and serve

Strawberry, Passion, or Mango Pina Colada Rocks Recipe

  • 16-ounce glass filled with ice
  • Pour 4 ounces of Island Oasis Pina Colada over the ice
  • Then pour 2 ounces of Island Oasis Strawberry, Passion Fruit or  Mango on top
  • Add 2 ounces of Rum and 1 ounce of water.
  • The drink looks very nice when you build it as described.  We recommend stirring the contents before taking a sip.
