“What is a lawyer’s favorite drink?”/“Subpoena colada.”

Piña colada (a cocktail) has nothing to do with subpoenas, but there are lawyer jokes.
     
“Am I a lawyer? Lemme see ... I failed my bar exam (added too much rum to the subpoena colada), so the answer is no” was posted on the newsgroup corelsupport.photo-paint9 on July 4, 2000. “I thought a lawyer’s favorite drink was a . . . subpoena colada!” was posted on Twitter by Michael Boo-rown on December 26, 2012. “What’s a lawyer’s favourite cocktail? Subpoena Colada!” was posted on Twitter by Foxio Gilfinish on July 24, 2015. “What’s a lawyer’s favorite drink? A subpoena colada!” was posted on Twitter by Taryn on May 14, 2016. “What is the lawyer’s favorite drink? Subpoena colada” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on October 16, 2021.
   
“I once knew a bailiff who moonlighted as a bartender. He served subpoena coladas. (Jason Dias)” was posted on the newsgroup alt.humor.puns on May 10, 2004. “Did you hear about the bailiff who moonlighted as a bartender? He served subpoena coladas” was printed in The Mammoth Book of One-Liners (2012) by Geoff Tibballs.
     
“If you like subpoena coladas, and getting caught in Ukraine” is a pun on “If you like piña coladas, and getting caught in the rain” from “Escape (The Piña Colada Song).” The line became popular because of 2018-2019’s political events and was printed on several images.
   
   
Wikipedia: Piña colada
The piña colada (/ˌpiːnjə koʊˈlɑːdə, -nə-, -kə-/; Spanish: piña [ˈpiɲa], “pineapple”, and colada [koˈlaða], “strained”) is a cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut or coconut milk, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice.
 
Wikipedia: Subpoena
A subpoena (/səˈpiː.nə/; also subpœna, supenna or subpena) or witness summons is a writ issued by a government agency, most often a court, to compel testimony by a witness or production of evidence under a penalty for failure.

Am I a lawyer? Lemme see ... I failed my bar exam (added too much rum to the subpoena colada), so the answer is no.

7/10seems like vacation time

Do you like subpoena colada’s?
And getting caught in Ukraine?
Secret kidnappings for Turkey,
That will tarnish your name?

Do you like making pleas at midnight?
Or in surprise morning raids?
You’re the flip that I hope for,
Don’t you try and escape
