Piña Colada

light rum, pineapple juice, and Coco Lopez

Piña colada (strained pineapple) was long-established non-alcoholic mix of pineapple juice and coconut water in cuba. The appearance of Coco Lopez (canned coconut cream) on the market in 1954 eventually proved an irresistable way to streamline the popular-but-labor-intensive Caribe Welcome tropical drink at San Juan’s teeming Caribe Hilton. By 1968, the Caribe Welcome was the Piña Colada (with rum) and world famous.
