Celebrate Cocktail Friday with Cristen's Shaken NOT Blended Piña Colada on the Rocks!
It's another #CocktailFriday, and with temperatures rising and summer days quickly on their way, what better cocktail to sip on in the sunshine, beachside or poolside, than my take on a shaken NOT blended Piña Colada on the rocks!

And, yes, you can still make this virgin by simply holding the rum! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. It's one of those cocktails that brings me back to my trips to the Caribbean!
