There's something nice about being able to make your own whenever the mood catches you. For me, it's usually in the summer when friends come by to catch up or when I make a nice dinner and want to make it extra special with a drink. To save time and money, I've kept my drink menu down to two staples that are the easiest in the world to make: piña coladas and mai tais. I mean, what's summer without a good drink, or two for that matter.
Both of these drinks are made with the same easy-to-find ingredients, which is why they're my go-to cocktails.
For the piña colada, all you do is blend everything up with enough rum for your liking (tipsy or hammered), and voilà, you have delicious and impressive drink that took minimal effort.
The mai tai is similar, except you don't blend. Mix 1/4 rum, 1/4 drink mix and 1/2 fruit punch. Pour over ice and garnish with some pineapple chunks and sip. You'll swear you were on an island vacation.
The drink mixes are the real time saver here. You avoid having to buy specialty, one-time-use-only ingredients. Adding the pineapple, which I always have on hand for smoothies, keep the drinks fresh.
