Description
The pina colada (“strained pineapple”) cocktail was invented in 1954 in Puerto Rico by Ramón “Monchito” Marrero, a local bartender at a prominent Hilton hotel. It’s a terrific summery drink with the excellent flavor combination of pineapple and coconut, backed by your preferred rum, whether blended or shaken.
