“A long walk between a mai tai and a piña colada that packs a ton of bright yet toasty notes that are still holding onto summer days. The perfect drink for a snowy night in to reminisce about summer vacations and tropical dreams. Let this drink take you on an adventure beyond the firewood and fallen leaves.”
