Shake Up, Drink Down: An Easy, Skinny Piña Colada From Osamil In New York City's Koreatown

Stumble into Osamil, a modern Korean gastropub on a side street in Manhattan's Koreatown and you're likely to find bar manager serving Tiki-inspired cocktails influenced by his Filipino roots.

One such drink is his signature How About a Piña Colada?, which he mixes without a blender and keeps on the lighter side by omitting the traditionally used coconut cream or milk. He substitutes coconut liqueur and toasted coconut rum to still get the nutty flavor and pack an extra few punches, and Honrade's use of dark instead of light rum adds a complexity to the beverage otherwise lacking in the original recipe. It plays well on the palate with his addition of lime juice, making Honrade's rendition particularly reviving on a humid summer afternoon.
