On July 10th, a sweet, rum-based beverage is celebrated as National Pina Colada Day. A Pina Colada, which typically contains cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and rum, is served blended or shaken with ice. Pina Colada refers to the freshly squeezed and strained pineapple juice used in the beverage, meaning "strained pineapple."
History of the Piña Colada
The Pina Colada was invented in Puerto Rico in 1954. Although Puerto Ricans dispute its origins, it is believed that on August 16, 1954, Ramón "Monchito" Marrero, a bartender at the Caribe Hilton's Beachcomber Bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico, created the drink. The Pina Colada was created soon after Monchito accepted the challenge of creating a new signature cocktail for the hotel that captured the essence of the island. We can all agree that this drink is rather excellent, regardless of its past.
