Piña colada

The piña colada is an iconic beverage originating from Puerto Rico, known worldwide for its tropical and refreshing flavor. Its creation is attributed to bartender Ramón "Monchito" Marrero, who in 1954 designed this mixture to capture the Caribbean essence in a single drink. In various Latin American countries, this delicious beverage may simply be known as "piña colada," although in some places similar variants are enjoyed with their own names that highlight local ingredients or modifications in preparation.

This cocktail combines the sweet and creamy flavors of coconut with the freshness of pineapple and a touch of rum, making it a preferred choice both at the beach and at social gatherings. Its fame has transcended borders, becoming a symbol of summer and tropical vacations.
