This is the ultimate drink for summer! And of course, we cannot help singing…
“If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
If you´re not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
I´m the love that you´ve looked for, write to me, and escape”
Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
