📜 History

The Piña Colada's origin is claimed by several Puerto Rican bartenders. Ramón "Monchito" Marrero at the Caribe Hilton San Juan (1954) and Ramón Portas Mingot at Barrachina restaurant (1963) both have credible claims. What's certain is that Puerto Rico embraced the drink, naming it the island's official beverage in 1978. The name translates to "strained pineapple" in Spanish, describing the traditional preparation method.
