How to squeeze the last fun from Summer: El Camino Cantina launches new ‘Ritacolada’ frozen drinks range

Tex Mex wild child El Camino Cantina, which brought the biggest, most audacious Margaritas to Australia, has launched a new limited-edition frozen drinks range: the Ritacolada.

Available for five weeks, from Monday 8th January until Sunday 11th February, the Ritacolada is a thirst-quenching, fantastic fusion of El Camino’s legendary frozen Ritas, and the tropical coconut notes of the famed, summer sensation, the Pina Colada.

“No longer do cocktail enthusiasts have to choose between one or the other of these classic cocktails; they can have a two-in-one frozen, flavoursome blast in one chilled glass,” said El Camino Cantina Food & Beverage Director, Giles Adolphus. “We’re also serving up some exciting new taco and wing flavours to pair with our Ritacolada range, creating a trifecta of bold, new Tex-Mex menu items for the remaining weeks of summer.”

There are nine fantastic flavours in the five-week, Cool For The Summer, Ritacolada range:

Loco Berry – Blueberry and Coconut 
Green Crush – Green Apple & Coconut 
Lychee Dream – Lychee & Coconut 
Peachy Splash – Peach & Coconut 
Watermelon Breeze – Watermelon & Coconut 
Passion Twist – Passionfruit & Coconut 
Mango Tango – Mango & Coconut 
Strawberry Bash – Strawberry Coconut 
Grape Bliss – Grape & Coconut

The line-up is available at all El Camino Cantina locations across the country: The Rocks, the Entertainment Quarter, Manly Wharf and Westfield Miranda in Sydney; Bowen Hills, South Bank, Chermside in Brisbane, Sunshine Plaza on the Sunshine Coast, Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast and Fitzroy in Melbourne. El Camino The Rocks, Surfers Paradise, South Bank and Fitzroy will have all nine flavours, while the other venues will have all flavours on rotation, with six to seven flavours available at any given time. (15oz – $24, 24oz – $28)
