Non-alcoholic Pina Colada or Virgin Pina Colada is a deliciously creamy, and refreshing Purto Rican drink made with Pineapple and coconut milk. A must-try tropical drink this summer.
What’s Pina Colada?
Pina Colada is a tropical drink invented by a Bartender at Cariben Hilton in 1954 at San Juan, Purto Rico. In 1978 it got declared as the official drink of Purto Rico.
The literal meaning of Pina Colada is strained Pineapple.
The original recipe uses rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. Even the ratio of these ingredients was fixed. However, with time different versions and ratios are used in the recipe. A lot of people now use coconut milk instead of coconut cream. You too can also adjust it as per taste.
The popularity of this drink can be guessed from the fact that the 10th of July is celebrated as the National Pina Colada Day in the US.
