The Piña Colada was invented in 1954 after three months of hard work. Ramon “Monchito” Marrero Perez, the head barman at the Caribe Hilton in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico was trying to create a signature cocktail for the hotels Beachcomber Bar. He eventually landed on the Piña Colada meaning strained pineapple.

For 35 years Mr Perez personally served the drink at the Caribe Hilton and it became so popular it was made the official drink of Puerto Rico in 1978.

The glass was designed in 2020 by Agustina Bottoni and is called High Spirits.
