National Pina Colada Day Giveaway at The Lansdowne Hotel

Overview

You don't need to like taking walks in the rain to be a fan of piña coladas, although given Sydney's persistent La Niña downpours, a penchant for precipitation might not be such a bad thing right now. Regardless of the weather, Australia is set to celebrate a national day dedicated to the world's favourite rum-spiked tropical cocktail on Wednesday, July 10, and the team at The Lansdowne Hotel is marking the occasion with one of the biggest drink giveaways Sydney's ever seen. 

In partnership with Master of Mixes, The Lansdowne's in-house taco shack, The Happy Mexican, will be giving away a whopping 10,000 free piña coladas. For three days, between Wednesday, July 10–Friday, July 12, free cocktail vouchers will be handed out at Broadway Shopping Centre — which you can redeem just across the street at The Lansdowne — from midday–6pm. 

There will also be free one-litre bottles of Master of Mixes' piña colada mixer up for grabs. This can be transformed into the ultra-creamy coconut and pineapple tipple by simply adding it to a blender, along with some rum and ice.

Clearly, the Happy Mexican crew feel three days is simply not long enough to honour such a legendary beverage. So until the end of July, they'll be slinging $10 piña coladas and $5 pastor tacos, filled with juicy marinated pork, a sweet-and-sour salsa and grilled pineapple — the ultimate side snack for your cocktail, come rain or shine.
