White rum is usually a light-bodied variant with a soft, sweet taste. It’s often used in light refreshing cocktails, especially favorites, like the Mojito and Daiquiri.

The Piña Colada hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico, invented by a bartender named Ramón “Monchito” Marrero who used BACARDÍ white rum.

While the classic Piña Colada is made with white rum, you can always experiment with different flavors. Try a gold rum to bring a bit more warmth, or a spiced rum for a unique cocktail.

Piña Colada recipe at International Bartenders Association

The piña colada (/ˌpiːnjəkoʊˈlɑːdə,-nə-,-kə-/;^[1]^[2]Spanish: piña[ˈpiɲa], 'pineapple', and colada[koˈlaða], 'strained') is a cocktail made with rum, cream of coconut or coconut milk, and pineapple juice, usually served either blended or shaken with ice. It may be garnished with either a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, or both.There are two versions of the drink, both originating in Puerto Rico.

Etymology[edit]

The name piña colada (Spanish) literally means 'strained pineapple',^[3] a reference to the freshly pressed and strained pineapple juice used in the drink's preparation.

History[edit]

Pina Colada Iii

Ramón Portas Mingot is credited with creating the drink.

The earliest known story states that in the 19th century, Puerto Rican pirate Roberto Cofresí, to boost his crew's morale, gave them a beverage or cocktail that contained coconut, pineapple and white rum.^[4] This was what would be later known as the famous piña colada. With his death in 1825, the recipe for the piña colada was lost. Historian Haydée Reichard disputes this version of the story.^[5]

In 1950 The New York Times reported that 'Drinks in the West Indies range from Martinique's famous rum punch to Cuba's pina colada (rum, pineapple and coconut milk).'^[6]

The Caribe Hilton Hotel claims Ramón 'Monchito' Marrero created the Piña Colada in 1954 while a bartender at the hotel. According to this account, Marrero finally settled upon the recipe for the Piña Colada, which he felt captured the true nature and essence of Puerto Rico.^[7] The hotel was presented with a proclamation in 2004 by Puerto Rico Governor Sila M. Calderón celebrating the drink's 50th anniversary.^[8]^[9]

Barrachina, a restaurant in Puerto Rico, says that 'a traditional Spanish bartender Don Ramon Portas Mingot in 1963 created what became the world's famous drink: the Piña Colada.'^[10]^[11]

In 1978 Puerto Rico proclaimed the cocktail its official drink.^[5]^[12]

Historically a few drops of fresh lime juice or bitters were added to taste.^{[citation needed]}

Preparation[edit]

Piña colada

As recounted by his friends in José L. Díaz de Villegas's book, the original Monchito recipe was to pour 85 grams of cream of coconut, 170 grams of pineapple juice and 43 grams of white rum into a blender or shaker with crushed ice, blend or shake very well until smooth, then pour into chilled glass and garnish with pineapple wedge and/or a maraschino cherry.

There are many recipes for piña colada. The International Bartenders Association specifies it is: Lazesoft mac data recovery.

Ingredients

(one part) 3 cl (1.0 US fl oz) white rum
(one part) 3 cl (1.0 US fl oz) coconut cream
(3 parts) 9 cl (3.0 US fl oz) pineapple juice

Method

Mix with crushed ice in blender until smooth, then pour into a chilled glass, garnish and serve. Alternately, the three main components can simply be added to a cocktail glass with ice cubes.^[13]

Pina Colada Song

In San Juan, Puerto Rico the recipe is:

Ingredients

1 US fl oz (3.0 cl) heavy cream
6 US fl oz (18 cl) frozen freshly pressed pineapple juice
1 US fl oz (3.0 cl) cream of coconut
2 US fl oz (5.9 cl) rum (any flavor)

Method

Freeze pineapple juice before use. In a blender, combine cream of coconut, frozen pineapple juice, heavy cream and rum. Pour in a desired 12-ounce container and use a cherry and fresh pineapple for a garnish.^[12]

Variations[edit]

Different proportions of the core ingredients, as well as different types of rum, may all be used in the piña colada. Frozen piña coladas are also served. Other named variations include:

Amaretto colada – amaretto substituted for rum^[14]
Chi chi – with vodka substituted for rum
Lava Flow – strawberry daiquiri and piña colada blended together^[15]
Virgin piña colada or piñita colada – without the rum, thus non-alcoholic
Kiwi colada – with kiwifruit (fruit and syrup) in place of pineapple juice
Soda colada – resembles original recipe but soda is used instead of coconut milk
Kahlua colada – Substitute Kahlua (coffee liqueur) for rum.
Scotsman colada – Substitute Scotch for rum.^[16]
Staten Island Ferry is a cocktail consisting of equal parts Malibu (flavored rum) and pineapple juice served over ice. In flavor it resembles a Piña Colada (due to the coconut flavor of Malibu rum). As it does not require cream of coconut, it is thus more easily prepared in bars that lack the specialty ingredients and blender that a Piña Colada would typically require.
Caribou Lou – 1 oz of Malibu rum, 1.5 oz of 151 Proof Rum, and 5 oz of Pineapple Juice. Very strong.
A Blue Hawaiian differs from a piña colada mainly by including blue Curaçao.

In popular culture[edit]

In the United States, National Piña Colada Day is celebrated on 10 July.^[17]

The cocktail gained worldwide fame after Rupert Holmes released his 1979 song 'Escape (The Piña Colada Song)', which became a popular hit around the world.^[18]^[19]

Jazz icon and flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione likewise released a tune titled 'Piña Colada' on his 1979 album Fun and Games.
