For a special treat on a steamy day, try this pina colada slush. I first had it when I was pregnant. It really hit the spot that summer—and ever since! I’m asked to bring it to family gatherings all year long, so I always keep a batch or two in my freezer…just to be prepared. —Alisa Allred, Vernal, Utah'
