Piña Colada

Piña Colada - 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.
I DO love a Jamaican style rum that can be tasted above the sweet. The Doctor Bird Pineapple has a lovely funk that cuts just the right way! Add a non-sweetened Coconut Rum from Koloa and the robust PLantation Pineapple and you have perfection!
In a blender add:
- 1 oz Doctor Bird Pineapple Jamaican Rum by @twojames
- 1 oz Koloa Coconut Rum
- 1 oz Plantation Pineapple “Stiggin’s Rum”
- 2 oz Pineapple Juice
- 2 oz Real coconut creme
- 12 oz ice

Flash blend for 20 seconds and pour into your fave fancy glass!
Pusser’s rum float on the top!
Garnish with dried pineapple! Enjoy!
