A sweet tropical drink made with rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice, most famously the piña colada.
Spanish word from 'colar' meaning 'to strain' or 'to filter,' referring to the straining of coconut milk through cloth to create the drink. The term became internationally famous through the piña colada cocktail invented in 1950s Puerto Rico.
The piña colada actually has an official origin story: a bartender named Ramón López Irizarry created it in 1954 at a San Juan bar, and it became Puerto Rico's national drink in 1978!
