When made well, the piña colada is a fantastic drink. To some, it should never be tampered with. Just like all classics, variations can turn something good into something magnificent. Such is the case with Kathy Casey's Kaffir Colada. The aromatic kaffir lime leaves mingle with a light and airy foam made with coconut milk. Devine!
