Where Does Piña Colada Come From:

The Piña Colada originates from Puerto Rico and is one of the island’s most famous cocktails. Traditionally made with rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, it can be blended or shaken with ice. While its exact origins are unclear, one popular legend attributes its creation to a bar in San Juan called “Barrachina” in the 1960s. The Piña Colada has since become a beloved tropical drink enjoyed worldwide!
