Cocktail Hour: Introducing the All-American Whiskey Piña Colada

This 4th of July, give your patriotic celebration a bold twist with the Whiskey Piña Colada—a smooth, smoky reinvention of the tropical classic. By swapping out rum for a rich American whiskey, this cocktail blends Southern charm with island vibes. Creamy coconut, tangy pineapple, and the warmth of bourbon or rye come together in a drink that’s both refreshingly chill and distinctly red, white, and boozy. It’s backyard BBQ meets beach bar—because what’s more American than mixing up something unexpected and delicious?

Fireworks optional. Flag-waving recommended.
