                             The origin of THE PIÑA COLADA

Puerto Rico is the place where it all began Ramon Monchito was a bartender at the Caribe Hilton Hotel in 1954. When Monchito first created his Piña Colada, he want to give the dink a touch of Puerto Rico so he used the major ingredients , so he made it with coconut cream, vanilla ice cream, and pineapple juice all put into a shaker with ice. At first, the Piña Colada was sold in the snack bar as a milkshake, but due to a large number of adults at the hotel, coconut rum was soon added to the mixture and became a crowd favorite. Monchito began using an  blender to combine the ice and coconut cream faster. Soon the Piña Colada’s popularity reached Miami and became one of the best-selling blended drinks in the world.

Piña Colada is the national drink of Puerto Rico.
