“If you like piña coladas…” then you’ll love January’s Flavor of the Month.
Did you know the Piña Colada Song—the one that started playing in your head just now—is actually called “Escape“? I can’t think of a better theme for January, when winter is settling in and everyone is planning their February vacation. I’m looking at beaches on Pinterest, wondering how to invite myself to a destination wedding in Bali (maybe Mexico?). But let’s face it, I’ll be sitting right here through winter break, watching the snow fall.
How about you?
Then let’s plan our escape, to a tropical destination nearer the living room. Or, possibly in the living room? Here are some ideas for throwing a tropical bash right at home. Whether it’s a beachy girls’ night or a luau slumber party, you’ll find the fruity treats, lush green decor, and yes, Piña Coladas to make even a wintry stay-cation feel like a celebration.
(We have even more recipes and inspiration on our Pinterest Beach Theme board.)
