Piña Colada from Puerto Rico

Hey folks! July 10th marks national Piña Colada day. I traveled to Puerto Rico to taste 2 different Piña Coladas, from 2 different establishments that proclaim to be the place where the Piña Colada was born. We will also see how they stack up against each other, while later on making one ourselves.

The Piña Colada was created in Puerto Rico in 1954 by Don Ramon Monchito Marrero at the Caribe Hilton. And it was also created in 1963 by Don Ramon Portas Mingot at Barrachina in Old San Juan. Two different Don Ramon's but almost 10 years apart. Let's take a closer look at both places and their Piña Coladas. So get ready for take-off and let's go to Puerto Rico!

The Piña Colada was first mentioned in cocktail books in the 1960s, Which is around the same time when this drink started gaining a lot of popularity. It took some time for this drink to gain popularity because Monchito actually created the Piña Colada as a shaken drink without alcohol. It wasn't until later on that alcohol was added. It's also said that he was a very humble man to the point that some co-workers of his would mention guests, he's the man who created the Piña Colada, Monchito would respond "That's what people say".
