Blancolada Cocktail
The Blancolada cocktail is a delicious twist on the traditional piña colada, featuring blanco tequila as the base spirit instead of white or coconut rum. This tropical beverage expertly combines tequila, pineapple juice and a pre-made piña colada mix, making it an extremely straightforward recipe, suitable for even mixology novices. Capturing the creamy, fruity essence of the original while adding a distinct agave touch, it demonstrates that exquisite flavours can be surprisingly approachable for any occasion.
