Thirsty Thursday comes early this week with the celebration of National Piña Colada Day!
Wednesday is still technically a work day, but who isn’t in the mood for a little slice of island paradise mid work week?
Celebrate pineapples, coconut, rum, little umbrellas, ridiculous holidays and “getting caught’ in the rain” (we wish!) for happy hour today at one of our topic-picks for delicious piña coladas!
Tommy Bahama Restaurant
The Tommy Bahama restaurant is the perfect place for Hawaiian shirts and the company of a friendly and fun staff. Although the restaurant doesn’t have a signature piña colada, they do make the standard taste pretty good.
They mix white rum, creamy Coco Lopez and pineapple juice — the bartender can add fruit like strawberries to the mix if you want to feel special.
