National Pina Colada Day

A Piña Colada is a tropical cocktail that is typically made with rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. The name Piña Colada is Spanish for "strained pineapple," which refers to the pineapple juice used in the drink. The classic Piña Colada recipe calls for blending together the rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice with ice, which results in a smooth and creamy cocktail with a tropical flavor. The drink is often garnished with a slice of pineapple or a maraschino cherry. The Piña Colada is said to have originated in Puerto Rico in the 1950s, and it quickly became popular throughout the Caribbean and beyond. It is now a popular cocktail around the world, especially in beach destinations or anywhere with a tropical vibe. In addition to the classic recipe, there are many variations of the Piña Colada that incorporate other flavors or ingredients. Some popular variations include adding banana, strawberry, or mango to the mix, or substituting the rum with another type of liquor like tequila or vodka.
