Here are 3 easy cocktails you should try this National Pina Colada Day

Mark your calendars people! July 10 is the day we are going to sit back and indulge in one of our all-time fave summer activities— sipping on chilled Pina Coladas. ‘Cause July 10 is National Pina Colada Day. And just in time for this delicious celebration, our forever preferred dessert liqueur, Baileys, has Baileys Colada.

They blended their iconic Irish cream with creamy coconut and sweet, juicy pineapple to give you a drink that’s equal parts smooth, creamy, sweet and yummy.
