Presenting the Pina Colada Coasters!

And what better way to show off these coasters than with a drink of Pina Colada mocktail!!!

A lovely refreshing drink made with Coconut milk, pineapple juice and crushed ice! I didn’t have any rum at home but I was more enamored with the perfect little umbrella that matched the coaster’s edging!
