The history of the Pina Colada cocktail
Piña colada cocktail – from the Spanish Piña colada – translates as “strained pineapple”.
In Russian, it is more correct to pronounce it as “Pina Colada”, however, the distorted name has taken root and has come into use.
Initially, this name meant freshly squeezed pineapple juice, which was served strained without pulp, it was called colada.
In the homeland of the cocktail, in Puerto Rico, they began to dilute white rum with such juice in order to soften the taste of this strong drink. So the prototype of the Pina Colada cocktail appeared.
Finally, the cocktail acquired a modern look in the middle of the XNUMXth century, all in the same Puerto Rico.
One of the local bartenders came up with the idea of adding coconut milk to the cocktail, which radically changed the taste of drinks and made it one of the most popular cocktails.
