History

The piña colada hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico where it was created by bartender Ramón “Monchito” Marrero at the Caribe Hilton in 1954. He mixed up a fruity blend of rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice and boom. Everyone's favorite summer treat was created. For the next 35 years, he would personally serve his cocktail while he bartended at the hotel. Come 1978, the piña colada was declared the official drink of Puerto Rico. To make things even more official, Caribe Hilton was presented with a proclamation signed by Puerto Rico’s Governor Sila María Calderón in 2004 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the beverage.
