The clocks have gone forward, it's finally light after 5pm and, do you know what that means?
Summer's on the way. Yeaaah, baby.
Summer 2021 has been well and truly earnt and we cannot bloody wait to lay out in the sun and get going on our inner bronzed goddess.
Let's be honest, summer wouldn't be complete without the appropriate fruity cocktail to accompany and, if you ask us, a piña colada is just summer liquified (with a cocktail umbrella, of course).
So, when we heard that the liqueur masters at Baileys had concocted a limited edition Baileys Colada, to say we were excited would be an understatement.

With an expert mix of Baileys Original Irish Cream, coconut and pineapple, this summer serve is best served over ice, and it's bloomin' delicious.
Plus, it's a bit of a bargain at £18.99 for 700ml and it comes in at 17 per cent ABV, too, so it's a good in-between when you don't fancy cracking out the really hard stuff.
Have we twisted your arm?
