-

Sure, the Pina Colada might have been created in 19th century Puerto Rico, but the frothy coconut cocktail didn’t become popularize­d until Rupert Holmes’s cheesy single (“If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain … ”) shot up the Billboard charts in 1979. Bar Manager Rhiannon Csordas gives the ultimate paper-umbrella drink a decidedly non-beachy, farm-to-bar makeover with dried corn on the cob muddled in chocolate bitters. Shaken like crazy with pineapple juice, lime and Earl Grey tea-infused bourbon, this left-field Pina Colada has a familiar creaminess, but also a curious kick that tastes nothing like “a worn-out recording of a favourite song.”
