You’ll be rocking out to this amped-up version of the classic Piña Colada. This delicious combination of rums and coconut are enhanced by the complexities the mint and ginger add, which really call for tweaking the amp up to eleven. We use a platinum “record” rum alongside the coconut rum, and some “rock” candy syrup to make a #1 hit with this one.
