Ok, so it’s not spring yet. In fact, in some parts of this great country, it feels more like mid-January. But fear not, the official start to the new season is only 3 weeks away and for those of us with children, spring break is upon us! What better way to celebrate than to whip up a favourite summer cocktail and dream of the warmer days to come. My #1 choice – a frozen Piña Colada!
