Pina Colada
As people around the country raise the flag for Independence Day, we join them by raising a glass of the perfect summer beverage – the Pina Colada. Originated in Puerto Rico, this drink traveled all the way up to beautiful Haines for an Alaskan twist. Usually made with a mixture of light and dark rum, we substitute with our 12 Volt Moonshine and Boatwright Bourbon to mimic these flavors. Rum is traditionally distilled from sugar cane. That rum is then bottled tp be clear rum (think Bacardi). That same rum can then be aged in once used bourbon barrels to extract a nice amber color along with the imparting some of the whiskey’s characteristics. This was a fun drink to make and even better to drink on this sunny Fourth of July week!
