Chi Chi cocktail

The Chi Chi cocktail is a close relative of the much more well-known Pina Colada, it swaps the rum for the vodka. The vodka makes the drink less sweet than the Pina Colada.

The Chi Chi cocktail is believed to be another creation of Donn Beach who is most known for his potent rum-based Zombie cocktail.
