History of The Pina Colada

The Caribe Hilton resort in Puerto Rico is credited as the birthplace of the Piña Colada cocktail in 1954, when bartender Ramón “Monchito” Marrero spent three months experimenting with recipes before settling on one that captured the true flavors of Puerto Rico using rum, coconut cream, heavy cream and pineapple juice. Marrero served the Piña Colada at the Caribe Hilton for 35 years until Puerto Rico named it the official national drink in 1978 in recognition of its creation there.

Ramón “Monchito” Marrero was the creator of the Piña Colada in 1954, during his time as a bartender
at our resort. After three months of experimentation, Mr. Marrero finally settled on the recipe Piña
Colada, which he felt captured the true flavors of Puerto Rico. He continued to serve the beverage at
the Caribe Hilton for the 35 years following its creation and was rewarded for his efforts in 1978 when
Puerto Rico named the cocktail its national drink.
