Pina Colada refers to the drink's newly extracted and strained pineapple juice.
Although pineapple has been a part of rum's distillation history, coconut didn't turn up until later. In 1922, the first written mention of a pina colada appeared in 1922. However, two separate claims to the pina colada's establishment in 1952 come from San Juan. Neither wavers from their tale were included in this story.
No matter who created the first creamy, sweet rum drink, it is forever infused with the ocean and beaches. The cocktail's bright color suggests sunshine and vacation. We're reminded of suntans by the pineapple's freshness, but a refreshing note of summer breezes is provided by the pineapple's ripeness.
