The Caribe Hilton Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, claims that the pina colada originated there. In 1954, bartender Ramon “Monchito” Marrero dreamed up the mixture of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice, and first served it on August 15, 1954. In 1978, the pina colada was declared the official drink of Puerto Rico.
