Pina Colada History
The Piña Colada was born in 1954 at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Bartender Ramón "Monchito" Marrero reportedly perfected it after three months of research.
The name means "strained pineapple" in Spanish, and it was designated Puerto Rico's official beverage in 1978.
Rupert Holmes' 1979 hit song "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" brought it worldwide fame, and it remains beloved as the quintessential tropical cocktail today.
