If you like piña coladas…Bergen County is a great place to be. Sure, nothing can quite beat sipping the blended rum, coconut and pineapple juice drink on an exotic beach with your toes in the sand. But with these delish piña colada options close to home, you’ll at least feel like you’re somewhere in the tropics…maybe?

For National Piña Colada Day on July 10, enjoy a piña colada or two at any of these local spots that have the delicious coconutty goodness on the menu:

Bahama Breeze Island Grille

With the word “island” in its title, you know to expect top-notch beach cocktails at Bahama Breeze. The piña coladas at this popular Paramus chain come in a freshly cut pineapple for a truly authentic experience (and taste).

Mojitos and sangria are popular drinks of choice at this Cuban restaurant with locations in New Milford and Hackensack, but don’t skimp on the piña coladas. The drink is touted on the menu as being made from their “own well-kept secret recipe.” Intrigued!

El Asadero Mexican Grill

At this Mexican spot with two Bergen locations (Fort Lee and Rochelle Park), go all out with your piña coladas. Order this festive drink by the pitcher instead of by the glass so your whole table can enjoy.
