Ultimate at home Pina Colada tips from bartenders !

The humble Pina Colada is a classic summer drink, but it's time to elevate your game and make it even better. The key to elevating your Pina Colada lies in the ingredients you use, and Giffard syrups are a great way to start.

Giffard syrups offer a wide range of flavours, from sweet and fruity to exotic and spicy, and they make it easy to add new dimensions to your drink. For example, try adding a splash of Giffard's Pineapple syrup to your Pina Colada for an extra boost of tropical sweetness. Or, mix in a touch of Giffard's Vanilla syrup to bring out the smooth and creamy notes of this classic cocktail.

Another great way to elevate your Pina Colada is to switch up the rum you use. Instead of using regular white rum, try Black Tears Spiced Cuban rum for a bold and spicy twist. Black Tears rum is made with Cacao, Coffee and Aji Dulce; it adds warm, rich, and complex flavors to your drink.
