Paradise found
We’re jetting off to Caribbean climes in a glass
For some, the piña colada may conjure up visions of gaudy concoctions festooned with paper parasols and straws, but for others, this is tropical sunshine in a glass. The exact history of the cocktail is somewhat disputed, but there’s no arguing with the fact that its three main ingredients – rum, pineapple juice and coconut cream – make its Caribbean origins crystal clear. Judging by the number of versions we’ve spotted around London (Oblix at The Shard does one with white chocolate, Coupette adds champagne, while Dishoom’s features chai syrup and lime juice), everyone seems to be having wistful thoughts of magical farflung getaways, but we prefer ours classically elegant, topped with a maraschino cherry.
