On the morning of a big birthday year, I met my friends and sisters on the rooftop pool of a Barcelona hotel and drank these for breakfast.
It’s a typical piña colada, only incredibly enhanced by the sweet almond flavour of amaretto. Combined with the pineapple juice and coconut milk, the almond is divine.
I could drink a gallon of this stuff. Oh, hang on, I did!

DeleteNice pineapples ideas. In the 80´s pineapple was a classic in Spain. Now I am living in Brighton, England and in a Gourmet Shop they sale very juicy and tasty pineapples from Costa Rica, really yumi,
